Details

At once bold and modern, as well as classic, the original design of this shawl is by Rajnandinee and Srabonti in India. The alabaster-hued tussar silk wrap is decorated with block printing techniques executed by hand that reveal black leafy shields among bands of magenta and rusty orange.

Hand block printing is a millenary art form believed to have spread throughout Asia during the 4th century AD. The desired composition is carved on wooden block with a chisel, hammer, file, nails etc. Printing involves laying out the fabric on flat tables and making the impressions with the previously carved blocks dipped in the desired dyes.

BEAUTIFUL!”

Im using this as a piece of showcase art work. I have it hanging over a screen- an elegant backdrop to a large Albany pottery vase. The colors of muted orange and purple almost sing out with balance and calm. Im loving what is gives to the space. (And Id post a photo but Im clueless how to do that) Thank you Rajnandinee and Srabonti!
