- LENGTH OF KAMKHWAB
By Bakshu
Woven silk, metal-wrapped thread
Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh
c. 1855
Indian textiles were a great source of inspiration to European designers. However, the weavers who made them were generally uncredited. This length of kamkhwab (‘kincob’), a densely woven brocade of silk and metal-wrapped thread, was sent to the 1855 Paris Exhibition. Unusually, it was embroidered with both the name of the pattern, angoori-buta, meaning a grape bunch motif, and the name of its weaver, Bakshu. [01/08/2017] (en)
- Fragments of a length of crimson silk brocaded with rows of a repeating grape-bunch motif (angoori-buta). Each tear-drop shaped buta consists of a silver brocaded base, with centre of silver-gilt blossoms and green (now faded) stems and vines, framed by a row of smaller blossom and leaves in silver-gilt and green. The butas are interspersed with silver-gilt blossoms. At the bottom of fragment 9624(IS) there is a green appliqued label, embroidered and couched with metal-wrapped thread. (en)
