A vibrant fragment of Rajasthan's heritage, this antique embroidered wedding shawl, or "odhni," whispers tales from the Thar Desert. Handcrafted in the Jaisalmer region, this unique piece is a testament to the artistry and traditions cherished by Indian communities. The base of the odhni is a beautiful example of handloom artistry. Two meticulously hand-stitched strips of brick-red wool cloth create a warm foundation for the embroidery. The surface is then adorned with intricate patterns, primarily rendered in white and yellow wool thread. Skilled artisans employed cross-stitch and satin-stitch techniques to create a visually stunning and timeless aesthetic. Traditionally, odhnis held deep significance in Indian weddings, adorning brides during ceremonies.Please note: As a testament to its rich history, this vintage textile shows signs of wear, including small rips or holes. *Era: Antique *Material: Wool *Size: 81"(L) x 52.5"(W) *Color: Red *Wash Care Instructions: Dry Clean Only *Condition: Hand-woven, antique or vintage fabrics may show wear, uneven edges, discoloration & slight blemishes.
