Silk woven with gold-wrapped thread. Diagonal stripes (ari-jhari) are ornamented alternately with cones and floral design in gold and many colours on a crimson ground using a technique known as meenakari (enamelling). This piece of brocade is an example of kincob. This anglicised term of uncertain origin, means a rich silk fabric with patterns woven in a weft thread of gold and silver-wrapped thread (zari), made by wrapping gold or silver wire around a silk core (kalabuttu zari). Kincob was usually sold by weight. Varanasi (Benares), an important centre of fine weaving from ancient times, developed as a silk weaving centre during the Mughal period and still has many fine silk weaving workshops. Silk brocade textile, Varanasi, 19th Century. This piece was bought in India for the Museum for £4.15.10 by Caspar Purdon Clarke in 1882
