- Choli or bodice, blue cotton with dark yellow border striped with pink and blue, the bodice and sleeves are decorated with mica printed onto gum, in flower heads which contain centres of cut mirror pieces. There are decorative silk borders, and on the back of the bodice is a central star-shaped flower design surrounded by mirror flowers. (en)
- EMBELLISHMENT
Both natural and man-made products are used to decorate textiles in India. Mirror-work (associated with western India and Pakistan) is perhaps the best known. Embroiderers also sew the wing-cases of ‘jewel beetles’ (Bupestridae) on to fabric to dazzling effect. European glass beads are used to embellish garments and household objects, while minerals such as mica can be ground up and printed with adhesive onto fabric.
