baagisa (Assamese) - garden

This pillow case is hand-spun and hand-woven by our team in Assam. The yarn is dyed with Cutch and the small designs like flowers are made from undyed Eri silk. It depicts a flower garden. The silk is called eri silk and cultivated by Assamese tribal communities South West of Guwahati. It is a wild silk and the moth leaves a hole in the cocoon as it has to be empty before it can be processed. Therefore it has a structure which is rather similar to linen.
