Textile Fragment
Not on view
This textile, produced in the fifteenth or sixteenth century under the Gujarat Sultanate, was made with the traditional dyeing technique of kalamkari. A wax resist was applied to this white cotton cloth, which was then dipped into a bath of indigo dye. A lotus-like flower and a sixteen-sided rosette form the design, which resembles that of a jali screen.
