Woven silk and silver strips, embroidered with silk, sequins, and foil
Hyderabad, Deccan
c. 1881-2
IS.2125-1883
This dupatta, a woman’s shawl or head-cover, is woven from an extremely fragile combination of silk and strips of gilded silver. The women of the court of Hyderabad, a kingdom of legendary wealth, developed distinct styles of draping richly ornamented fabrics over kurta (tops) and paijama (trousers). Some of these styles are still in use in the region today. [01/08/2017]
SILVER HEAD-COVER
Indian formal wear often has glittering metallic decoration sewn on to it. Much rarer are pieces like this with strips of silver and gilded silver actually woven into the fabric. Though further embellished with coloured metal foil (imitating jewels and beetles' wing-cases), the cloth remains flexible enough to be draped over the head or shoulders.
Gilded silver and silver warp and silk weft, with silver sequins, metal foil and floss silk
Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh/Telangana, 1881-2
