The central square is framed by a brocade border, intertwining shades of gold, yellow, and red against a lavender background. The color palette has a remarkable harmony, and the pattern a lovely balance.

The intricate embroidery, hand-worked with a chain stitch in silk thread on finely woven silk satin, was likely created and used as part of a wedding ceremony. This piece is from the Kutch District in Gujarat, which is in western India.

Elegantly presented on a linen backdrop and in a contemporary acrylic shadow box frame, the focus remains on the antique textile.
