  • Shisha (glass) or mirror work, is common in the northern desert states of India. It may have evolved from naturally occurring mica but from the 19th century onwards, specially made pieces of mirrored glass were used. Mirrored glass was blown by hand and then cut into different shapes, although nowadays a more uniform and thicker factory-made glass is often used. A variety of stitches is used to attach the mirror pieces to the fabric. Kutch is a particularly rich area for embroidery; this piece is probably from the Muslim Memon or merchant community in Banni, Kutch. This garment would have been made by a professional embroider working in chain stitch, buttonhole stitch and interlacing stitch. It would have been worn over trousers with matching cuffs. (en)
