This intricately constructed cotton pillow cover in a deep beige colour with a crab motif was created using patchwork and Chikankari stitching techniques.
In India, Chikankari embroidery is a popular craft that promptly accentuates any design. This renowned surface decorating skill employs a significant amount of embroidery to produce gorgeous motifs and designs.
A 2000 BC discovery of needles and embroidered textiles provided evidence that needlework existed in India. Due to the king's intense interest in textile aesthetics, embroidery reached astounding heights during the reign of Emperor Akbar in the 16th century.
