Framed Vintage Kutch Bodice #2

This vintage decorative bodice has originated from the Kutch region of western India. The artisans who hand embroider these stunning garments take inspiration from Mughal and Persian artforms. Patterns are of a tribal nature and often incorporate mirror work, which in their culture, represents water. Water has great importance to the people in this dry part of India.

This stunning example of their artisanal craftmanship has been decoratively backed onto a piece of ikat from Orissa and displayed in a black wooden frame. Measuring 74cm by 58cm, this stunning piece of artwork is sure to make a statement in any interior.
