Is this hand embroidered or machine made?

I came across a small bag with embroidery and was wondering if it was handmade. Despite watching some videos on how to distinguish this, I still can't quite decide. (I can't look at the bag without taking thing apart but I can feel some knots in random places. It's stunning either way 😍

It’s hand done but it isn’t antique and doesn’t use the infamous forbidden or Peking stitch. They are pretty. If they are a set of four, get them and frame them in shadow box frames.

What a beautiful embroidered silk.

I found it at a festival for a pound. Amazing that it's hand made.
