EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of textile art from the late 1800s to early 1900s in India. Known as the "Loin Cloth Pha nung" or "Cloth for Wrapped Garment" this stunning creation hails from the East Coast of India and represents the exquisite craftsmanship of that era. The fabric is meticulously woven using a tabby weave technique, resulting in a visually appealing pattern. What makes this garment truly exceptional is its mordant resist and batik treatment, which adds intricate designs and motifs to its surface. The skilled artisans used cotton as their canvas, creating an overall masterpiece measuring an impressive 97.8 x 325.1 cm (38 1/2 x 128 in. ). This textile artifact offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of India during the late 19th to early 20th century. It reflects not only the mastery of weaving techniques but also reveals how clothing played a significant role in expressing one's identity and social status. The Liszt Collection has beautifully captured this historical treasure through photography, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even today. This image serves as a reminder of our shared human history and celebrates the creativity and skill that went into crafting such extraordinary pieces.
