Nakashi Kantha Cushion (med square)

£50.00£60.00

Each cover has been made from part of a repurposed Nakshi Kantha, backed with natural linen fabric to frame this exquisite embroidery. Nakshi Kantha is an age-old traditional embroidery technique, made using layers of cotton saris bound together with tiny running stitches. An over-embroidered design often of natural motifs such as leaves and animals is typical. Using a limited color palette these fabrics are striking in their naive portrayal of rural life. 60-80 years of age the work is very detailed, each cushion a unique piece of Bengali history.

Square 50cm x50cm

Each cover is carefully made from a repurposed kantha quilt. Kantha, the name given to an age-old embroidery technique. Layers of cotton saris are bound together with tiny running stitches creating a unique quilted surface
