Features
One of the well- known crafts associated with embroidery is Sheeshedar or mirror work, It is a highly intricate form of sewing mirror discs onto the fabric The art supposed to have originated in Persia, dates back to the early 13th century. But not much is known about it. Marco Polo, who came to India in the same century, commented that the gold and silver embroidery in this region was more skillfully done than anywhere else in the world. The art of putting mirrors into the garments is usually combined with other forms of embroidery. The communities who were already familiar with art of embroidery incorporated this craft so as to add more effects to their designs. The finest embroidery was brought to northern Kutch by the Jats of the Banni who had immigrated from Baluchistan generations ago. Their work still retains the Baluchi techniques and the same preference for small, intricate patterns, which are fundamentally geometric in conception. Mirror discs are cut in the shape of petals and leaves, and blended in designs of shimmering delicacy. Bhuj, the capital of a small prosperous kingdom in the central provinces of Kutch, was inhabited by mochis-cobblers or leather workers, by trade. It is not known when they began practicing silk embroidery, but their work shows a maturity of style and technique, indicating a well-established craft. Their designs comprised the traditional floral motifs and were executed in two alternating patterns on the hem of the ghaghrapat (skirt-cloth). Though the craft centered primarily around Bhuj, some mochis moved to Kathiawar (Saurashtra), in the 14th century and were employed by the Kathis, a land owning class. * Handmade item; the artisans make drawing on the fabric, then the fabric is distributed to other artisans that do the embroidery on the drawings. Once the embrodeiry is completed the fabrics are transferred to experienced taylors that give the final touches to the Bedspreads. The whole process take up to 30 days for each piece
