Jewel medallion

CHO Tibetan Brocade – Maroon Jewel medallion from KashiFab, a Tibetan brocade manufacturer in Banaras, Varanasi. CHO / Choubey Silk, sold by the metre on enquiry. The still shows large jewel-like medallions with gold and teal on maroon. The cloth is cut as a lehenga panel, where the repeat needs to read across a flared length. A typical enquiry is a garment workshop in Japan cutting festive outer panels from this weave.
