Bead Work Decoration Panels For Food Cover (Tudung Saji)

Tudung saji is a traditional food cover used mostly by the Malaysians to cover their meals as to keep the food away from insects.

In the Peranakan household, the Nyonyas will try their very best to keep their dining table presentable to look at, especially when the tables are presented with the food covers.

The semi-round-shaped food covers were usually decorated with the beading-on-velvet technique bead work on top of the covers.
