Summary

Description
English: Locale: Patan region.

Period: 1725-1800. Yarn: Silk, hand-spun. Technique: Double ikat.

Size: 103 x 445 cm (3' 4" x 14' 7") LW: 4.32 Design: Field decorated with circular floral pattern called jilamprang, which in Gujarat is known as chhabdi bhat or basket pattern. It represents an eight-petalled lotus, with buds and flowers radiating from it, encircled by the curvilinear outlines of leaves. Border are triangles alternated with inverted triangles called tumpal, a motif called tumpal. It was this patola type more than any other, that served as an inspiration to weavers all across the Indonesian archipelago.

Comment: Several small holes, a few tears in the longitudinal border, one with old (clumsy) repair. The jilamprang covered field however is almost entirely intact and has lost none of its visual impact. Weaving is fairly loose and gauzy, giving the impression of raw silk.
