Exquisite and laborintensive, phulkari (floralwork or flowercraft) embroideries were originally produced by women in towns and villages across the greater Punjab, a region that today straddles Pakistan and India, from at least the early 19th century into the first decades of the 20th. Phulkaris were made from brightly colored silk thread on rough, earthtoned fabric. When done for domestic use, they functioned primarily as womens wraps at weddings or other important events. Especially following the Punjabs devastating partition in 1947, phulkaris were also produced as commercial exports. Focusing on a group of nineteen stunning works from the collection of Jill and Sheldon Bonovitz, Phulkari surveys the genres fascinating history. This is the first publication outside South Asia specifically on this art form. It also offers significant new information on the craft and its importance to personal, familial, and regional identity in the past and the present.Published in association with the Philadelphia Museum of ArtExhibition Schedule:Philadelphia Museum of Art(03/12/1707/09/17)
