Can anyone assist with Identifying or possibly Appraising this piece?  Thanks!

<p>Textiles really need to be physically examined to determine their origins, date and authenticity, nobody can really tell you much from images. You really need to take this piece to an appraiser whose specialty is Oriental textiles. I suggest you contact sothebys via sothebys.com</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lovejoy </p>
