These textiles were usually created by the grandmother, mother & aunts of the bride over several years. Handmade cotton cloth is embroidered with silk. They were used at the wedding, and subsequently throughout life at other family ceremonies. Phulkari is purely a labor of love, and becomes an heirloom that is passed down from generation to generation. This textile is hand embroidered in fuchsia, gold, green, and white silk threads on a maroon red cloth. It is signed in Punjabi script by its maker, Nareni. At 104” long and almost 50” wide (3 yards), it would look great as a bed scarf, throw, or wall hanging. See less
