Leafy green, with a banded pallu

Leafy green checks across the body, opening into a wide multi-banded pallu of blush and bronze that reads as a separate piece of cloth entirely.

The design

Medium-scale checks cover the body at a high density. The pallu is the contrast: several parallel bands in blush pink and bronze, running horizontally across the width, with white between them and tassels at the edge. The bugdi border reads the same on both faces.

How it is woven

Woven by master weaver Aafreen and the master-weaver households of Mominpura, Maheshwar, on a pit loom with the weft inserted by hand.
