Banjara Shield Cover
Made to cover a ceremonial shield used in weddings, this textile is similar to the ‘chakli’/food covers, but includes a fitted edge making it distinctive. Most of the decoration is appliqued, but additional embroidery also enhances the appliqued designs; everything is handsewn. The background fabrics are cotton and are handwoven, with two panels of a block-printed design. The cutout motifs are interesting in that all are different, and two colors are utilized, with additional embroidered dots of color. Condition is very good. We see very few of these.
