This Green and kumkum red Patan patola double ikat Phul Bhat saree has phul (floral) motifs. The red border has motifs of kunjar (elephant) and popat (parrots). The two-way pallu also has the kunjar and popat motifs, along with a zari kaddi strip. The complexity and intricacy involved in weaving a Patan patola saree involves 4 to 5 weavers working on it over 8 to 9 months. The weavers not only require dexterity, but also numerical ability and spatial intelligence - skills that are passed on from generation to generation in the very few families that have been practicing this historic skill for centuries! So be the proud owner of this collector's item!!
