Bagru hand-block cotton — rows of small violet and rose floral butis on an undyed ground.

Where it came from

Bagru hand-block

Steeped in harda before a block ever touches it, which is where the buff ground comes from.

Printed by the Chippa families. The cloth is soaked in harda — myrobalan — so the mordant is already in the fibre when the block lands, and the colour sits inside the cotton rather than on it.
