837 Creative Art – Large Layout Bagh Phulkari

Am I imagining the “Chromosome double helix” motif?

Superb colors. Superb silk.

Note the green selvedge embroidery.

Age unknown but estimated to be 50-60 years old

134 x 242cm

The stitch type is the sparse dovetail type which is usually seen in large-layout non-repeated pattern phulkaris with very creative art.

The color shades vary depending on the angle and so several photos taken in the same minute and same lighting conditions have been provided to allow for complete visual assessment.

Lovely lime green and rarely-seen plum red-maroon.

The black & white image highlights the pattern.
