embroidery

the picture I posted is from a Kantha.
made in West bengalen ( india)
It is embroidered and quilted I have a collection of them,
new and antique.

The message it says : cooking is made more tiresome for girls because the source of water is far away.
the size is 26"x 39"
I have it in my kitchen.
