EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning textile known as "Cloth with hamsa, or geese, lotus buds, and rosettes". Created between 1301-1450 in India, this cotton fabric measures an impressive 406x99 cm and is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum in the University of Oxford. The intricate design of this cloth features a variety of elements including hamsa (geese), lotus buds, and rosettes. These motifs are beautifully block-printed with resist and mordant-dyed red techniques. The craftsmanship involved in creating this textile is truly remarkable. Originally made for the export market, it is believed that this cloth found its way to Southeast Asia, specifically Indonesia's Sulawesi region. Its vibrant colors and exquisite patterns would have undoubtedly captured the attention of buyers from different parts of the world. The combination of floral elements such as lotus lilies along with bold red hues creates a visually striking piece. This textile not only serves as a testament to India's rich artistic heritage but also highlights the skillful techniques employed by artisans during the 14th century. As we admire this work of art, we are transported back in time to appreciate the beauty and intricacy that can be achieved through textiles. It stands as a testament to human creativity and craftsmanship throughout history.
