Description
Chanderi fabric, a fine cotton/silk blend, is made in northern India and often used in the gorgeous saris that many women in the region wear. Here, metallic threads add a regal touch to an olive green scarf, with a hand-embroidered geometric jaali (trellis) pattern.
Museum Story
The Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art, opened to the public in 1923, a gift to the nation from Charles Lang Freer. The Gallery contains an extensive collection of oriental art, prints, sculpture and silk panels, as well as a major group of 19th and 20th century American works.
