This is an embroidery I purchased over 30 years ago when I traveled to China, at a Friendship Store, which was a shop specifically for foreign tourists. The kitten's fur is delicate and adorable. I can't compare it to its condition when I bought it, but I've kept it in a closet for many years, so there may be some fading, although it's not very noticeable. I hope you can judge from the photos. This is a souvenir item and not a work of art. The frame was purchased recently in Japan. Thank you.
