Textile

This is a Textile. We acquired it in 1961. It is a part of the Textiles department.

Here we have a photograph of a large rectangular shawl of pieced silk and cotton. The silk and cotton is appliquéd with tikdi circles of jamdani cut from the smallest scraps, all varying in color and texture. Asymmetrical, the left side is olive green with tikdi dots placed on top, the right side is cornflower yellow with rust stripes and more tikdi dots. Between them, there is a mint green rectangle patch with black and white stripes on the sides. The tikdi dots have varying stripe patterns in different foliage forms. All varying colors and patterns, some are cut from the same fabric but no two are the same in appearance or shape. Example dots include a lemon yellow with hot pink, white with blue stripes, green with thin white stripes, and navy blue forest with varying colors.
