The faces are the tell: eyes, brow and lip drawn freehand, the fills stopping just inside their outlines, the pencil underdrawing still faintly visible in places. Every ring of the border was set down by hand, so the spacing breathes rather than repeating exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe central pair — he crowned, she veiled and jewelled, her hand raised — is the couple Mithila painters return to most often, read as Radha and Krishna. Around them the painter has built the concentric world that always accompanies them: geometry closest in, then flower, leaf, bird and fish spreading outward.\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. The maroon sits deep on it, shifting toward brick where the slub catches light.\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: Maroon with natural beige\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork: Hand-painted Madhubani (Mithila), painted directly onto the silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePallu: Radha-Krishna roundel with concentric borders, flowering vine, bird and fish\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.
