The pencil underdrawing still shows through in places, the hatching is laid in stroke by stroke, and the parrots along the border are each a little different from one another — which is what tells you a hand made them rather than a screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt the centre is a \u003cstrong\u003epurain\u003c\/strong\u003e, the lotus-pond motif: concentric rings of petal and bead built outward from a small flowered core. In Mithila painting the purain is the heart of kohbar work, the imagery painted on the walls of a nuptial chamber, and it stands for water, fertility and continuity. Around it the painter has set full lotus blooms, birds, and leaves in blue, green and coral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAgainst black, the natural beige ground of the pallu reads almost like paper — which is exactly the effect the tradition was built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTussar Ghicha silk, handwoven in Bhagalpur. Ghicha is the yarn drawn from the outer layers of the cocoon and spun by hand — hence the slubby, uneven texture and the soft matte lustre. In black it reads deep rather than flat, with the slub catching a faint grey where the light falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric: Tussar Ghicha Silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black with natural beige and coral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork: Hand-painted Madhubani (Mithila), painted directly onto the silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePallu: Purain lotus-pond medallion with lotus, parrots and flowering vine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBorder: Hand-painted Madhubani, both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlouse piece:  unstitched, 0.8 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaree length: 5.5 m | Width: 1.1 m \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: Dry clean only.
