Sheila Paine

Sheila Paine (29 September 1929 – March 2022) was an English expert on Islamic embroidery. She was known for her travel books including ''The Afghan Amulet'', describing her efforts to find the "linen goddess", an embroidered motif found from Greece to central Asia, and the origins of an elaborately embroidered "Kohistan" dress she had seen in a dealer's shop in London. Her work was exhibited at the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford. Provided by Wikipedia
