PUNJAB, CIRCA 1930
Handspun and handwoven cotton, hand embroidered with untwisted silk thread, natural dyes
53.5 x 85 in (136 x 216 cm)


The embroidery on the present lot creates a subtle, shimmering effect over the surface of the fabric. The phulkari is evenly divided into squares arranged by colour into diagonal rows, creating an appearance of individual mirrors that suggest the reflection of light falling upon them.
