The story of this piece
The body is thrown with two shades on the loom, so the colour moves from saffron to burnt orange across the six yards rather than sitting flat. The border was joined in korvai — a contrast pink woven in, not stitched on — and the herringbone drawn from a weave record kept in the town.
