Valance (India)
This is a Valance. It is dated 18th century and we acquired it in 1973. Its medium is cotton and its technique is mordant painted and dyed and resist dyed (chintz) on plain weave. It is a part of the Textiles department.
The elegant refinement and lively character of this hand-painted and dyed botanical chintz belie the many hours of craftsmanship necessary to create an image of such complexity in workshops unchanged since antiquity.
