This "Woman's wedding veil (thirma phulkari)" is a hand-stitched, traditional piece of textile art created by the Hindu Jat community in the 20th century. This elaborate piece is comprised of a repetitive pattern of stylized figures set within triangles against a contrasting red and ivory background. The veil features a intricate use of color, stitching, and detail that is typical of Phulkari, a needlework tradition of the Punjab region.
