The story of this piece
The lotus is the motif a South Indian weaver returns to most, because it carries the temple with it — carved into pillars, drawn along gopuram walls, and woven into borders as the flower that rises out of still water. Here it is small and scattered, so the body stays calm and only the border speaks.
