        Quite hippie-ish. Would go well with an Afghan coat.

        If I'm not mistaken,the stitch here is Herringbone, or a round ' blanket stitch', Reminds me of the technique in Gujarat in India, only we use mirrors in between & around to embellish & decorate. So,I love this for it's provenance,but not so much for the handiwork.

        Something similar can be seen in Lebanon’s national museum together with mummified bodies and writings that put them at around the same time as your coin
