On display are extraordinary examples of the brilliant and sophisticated tradition of textile making in India, including saris, shawls, ceremonial clothes, temple hangings and other fabrics made in India between the 14th and 19th centuries. The textiles, all from a private collection, show a variety of techniques, such as block printing, painting, ikat, tie-dye, tapestry, brocade and embroidery. We are very fortunate to present this exhibition at Cornell. A gallery guide with information on the production techniques, history and cultural context of these textiles is available. The exhibition runs through June 18.
Admission is free.
