Hanging or Bed Cover
Not on view
This palampore, used as a bed cover or wall hanging, was made with a traditional dyeing technique called kalamkari, which evolved in Southern India. In this multi-step process, each color is applied with a stylus or by using wax resists before submerging the entire cloth in a dye bath. Textiles of this design, with a central flowering tree surrounded by scrolling vines and flowers, were often made for the European market.
