- Mashru textile, Hyderabad, ca. 1880. (en)
- Mashru, or 'permitted' cloth was originally woven for Muslim men who were prohibited from wearing pure silk. It is a satin weave fabric with a combination of cotton weft and silk warp; the cotton weft being the lower layer in contact with the skin, while the silk warp shows on the surface. This example includes ikat, a type of weaving where the threads are tie-dyed before weaving to create designs in the finished fabric. Hyderabad was one of several centres where mashru was woven; much of it was exported to the Middle East, but ikat mashru is frequently seen in Company School paintings from South India and was used locally for garments. (en)
- This 'mashru' pattern is unusual in the narrowness of the ikat-dyed stripes and their combination with squared patterns in the stripes that separate them, but the arrow-head ikat motifs are typical of Deccani mashru. 'Mashru' is a satin weave cloth with a combination of a cotton weft and silk warp, the cotton weft being the lower layer in contact with the skin. The fabric was originally woven for Muslim men who were prohibited from wearing pure silk. 'Mashru' (meaning 'permitted' in Arabic) was woven all over India, though it survives today mainly in Gujarat. (en)
