The enclosing shapes read clearly at distance while the plants stay soft; the smaller blossoms and interior linework only resolve close up. The open ground keeps the repeat from feeling dense even though the medallions are closely ordered. At 8 inches each unit registers on its own. Available as wallpaper and fabric by the yard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom:0.6em;\"\u003eThis surviving Varanasi fragment combines silk and metallic-wrapped silk in a compound weave. 'Varanasi Medallion' translates that woven structure into flat colour at an 8-inch half-drop repeat. Each flowering plant sits inside its own pointed border, with smaller floral forms between them. The border, rather than the flower, organizes the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;margin:0;\"\u003eRead More...\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:1.2em;\"\u003eThe Source\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure and the plant it holds recall the boteh — the form commonly known in English as paisley — but the characteristic boteh curves at the tip, while this enclosure rises to a point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fragment was woven in Varanasi, India.
