Description

Cover for stacked quilts. Made for their own use and sold to me during the drought because I was asking them to sell me the beautifully embroidered covers for stacks of quilts at the center back of their Bungas (round one room houses). They were not offered initially. In 2022 when I visited some of the houses in Dhordha the same style was being used, though they were much more covered with embroidery.
