This print showcases a stunning piece of heritage art known as "Hanging (Phulkari work)" created between 1875 and 1900 in Punjab, India. The intricate craftsmanship and vibrant colors of this embroidered silk on cotton textile immediately draw the viewer's attention. Despite its age, the embroidery remains remarkably well-preserved, showcasing the skill and dedication of the unknown creator. The Phulkari technique is a traditional form of embroidery that originated in Punjab, which translates to "flower work" in English. This hanging exemplifies the beauty and complexity of this ancient art form. Each stitch tells a story, with motifs ranging from floral patterns to geometric designs that symbolize various aspects of Punjabi culture. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this artifact serves as a testament to India's rich textile heritage. Its presence within their collection highlights the museum's commitment to preserving cultural artifacts from around the world. Heritage Images has expertly captured every detail through this high-quality photo print. It allows viewers to appreciate not only the exquisite craftsmanship but also provides an opportunity for individuals who may not have access to such historical treasures firsthand. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by history, this photograph offers a glimpse into late 19th-century Indian textiles and invites contemplation on how traditions can transcend time while still retaining their allure and significance today.
