The cream-coloured cows are, or were, outlined in crimson, but most of the cream silk and many of the crimson outlines have gone. On the left hand side, running down the length of the cloth, is a border consisting of three sections, a broad border surrounded on both sides by a narrow border. The borders are patterned as follows: in the broad central section is a design of crimson cows, separated by flowering stems in light green, dark bluish-green, with yellow and red flowers. The narrow borders have a design of green and red parrots, yellow and red flowers, and dark bluish-green foliage, alternately. The borders are defined by narrow bands of yellow outlined in red. Typical hook-worked embroidery in concentric circles of chain-stitch, as done by the Mochis (shoemaker caste).","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"cotton (textile)","id":"AAT14067"},{"text":"silk thread","id":"x30127"}],"techniques":[{"text":"weaving","id":"AAT53642"},{"text":"chain stitching","id":"x40522"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Woven cotton, embroidered with silk threads in chain stitch","categories":[{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"},{"text":"Embroidery","id":"THES48960"},{"text":"Animals and Wildlife","id":"THES250852"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"SSEA","id":"THES48598"},"images":["2006AN8368","2006BG1936"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"002","id":"THES394727"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Temple hanging","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Kutch","id":"x31970"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"late 19th century","earliest":"1850-01-01","latest":"1900-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"158","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"151","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Transferred from the Circulation department.
