Birds, peacocks, camels, flowers, and geometric shapes decorate this brightly colored Kutch textile. Most of the color work is done in a double-sided blanket stitch and the black outlines are chain stitched. Shisha work secures the mirrors in place, and a tacked down string of beads lines the outer border. Fuzzy fringed borders outline the different images and sections of geometric patterns.
