Banjara Neck Cover (‘gala’)
A nicely ordered and executed design, this old ‘gala’ has some nice details: a complex central design, borders with dynamic, complementary motifs, and defined upper corners and lower border. All the cotton, except the applique cut white, is handspun. Cowrie shells edge three sides. Condition is good, with some original repairs on the back and front left of center; the lower border is likely an old, recycled piece. This is a lovely example of the genre.
