About the work

curationist logoCurationist Object Description
Textiles such as this fragment were made in Gujarat, India for Indonesian consumers. An ornamental pattern runs throughout the cloth and features a seated man surrounded by three smaller figures and a domesticated bird. Its creation dates to the fifteenth century because of its chemical makeup and the inclusion of the Jain sage's protruding eye. The fragment is considered to be a rare find today though it was not uncommon for Indonesian families to preserve such textiles for use down through the generations.
