The tryst of Indian
and Chinese elements on traditional Indian textiles is an old tale. From
ancient times, the “Silk Route” was the path traveled by cultures of both
nations, who interacted with one another and enriched the style and taste of
their people. This handwoven Banarasi brocade patch is an example of the union
of the two cultures, on a lovely red ground. Handwoven cloud motifs surround a
roaring dragon image on the fabric. In Chinese culture, a dragon is synonymous
with royalty, a symbol of the ancient dynasties. Woven on the luxurious silk of
India, the dragon is the perfect motif to represent power and opulence in your
space.
