Summary
Indian sari of silk brocade. The sari is purple with a gold brocaded design of baskets of flowers. Around the edge, there is a band of twill woven gold decoration and Kashmir cones. At both ends of the sari there are double sections left with an open weave which, if cut, they would form the fringing. There are threads of navy or black at either side of the borders.
