Cut from a mid-to-late 1800s Indian Kalamkari wall hanging. The art of Kalamkari, which translates to “pen work,” is a centuries-old tradition of hand block printing and freehand painting on fabric. Created using intricately hand-carved wooden blocks. The base is a nubby, unbleached cotton. Its floral borders and intricate central motifs—often animals or botanicals—speak to the Indian artistic tradition of storytelling through textiles and an echo of 18th-century Palampore textiles. Originally intended to adorn walls as decorative hangings. The tones are muted and unevenly faded with time.
*Each bandanna is cut from a section of the whole textile.
