Pulchari c. 19th century

This 19th-century textile, known as "Pulchari", is a striking example of Indian block-printing. The fabric is adorned with intricate patterns of stylized floral motifs and paisley designs, executed in vibrant red, yellow, and black against a white background. The artwork, currently held by the Minneapolis Institute of Art, demonstrates the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic traditions of India during this period. This unnamed artist's work showcases the beauty and artistry of Indian textile design.
