Lot Essay

The present panel would probably have formed the outer edges of painted and dyed pichhvais. Lotus meanders were particularly favoured for these. Two similar border panels are in the Tapi Collection (Ruth Barnes, Steven Cohen, Rosemary Crill, Trade, Temple & Court, Indian Textiles from the Tapi Collection, Mumbai, 2002, cat.85-86).
