Measuring a long 192” x 43” the fabric can be used as a festive table cloth, a fabulous throw on a large sofa or the fabric can be used to make a gorgeous curtain, window shade or a set of incredible pillows. The fabric is possibly reversible too although not meant to. The reverse shows a scintillating gold color and is stunning. The sari is woven in burgundy and gold yarn on the warp and weft giving it a uniform shimmering, tissue look. Like in most traditional saris, one side of the fabric has an end piece with large paisley motifs. The overall design and pattern are reminiscent of ancient Moghul floral and architectural window patterns. A very rare and exotic piece. less
