Banjara Neck Cover (‘gala’)
This handsome ‘gala’ plays games with the positive and negative spaces in a very artful way, and with a dynamic, contrasting border of dark indigo, giving it a very lively quality. All cotton, the red is definitely handspun, and the yellow and blue could also be; colors appear to be natural. Condition is good, with an original repair horizontally across the center (on the back) which does not really show up on the front. Sacred cowrie shells adorn three sides, with wool tassels and amuletic triangles at the corners and sides. These old ‘galas’ are not often found.
