Arboresent and Palampore Prints

A Palampore was made by an artist who drew the designs on cotton or linen with a  pen containing mordant and then dipped the textile in dye. The dye adhered to the cloth only where the mordant had been applied. This lengthy process had to be repeated for each color in the design. Small details were then painted by hand on the cloth after the dying process was completed. Palampore patterns were usually very complex and elaborate, depicting a wide variety of plants, flowers, and animals, including peacocks, elephants, and horses. Because a Palampore was hand-created, each design is unique.

A Story of Islamic Embroidery

A Story of Islamic Embroidery in Nomadic and Urban Traditions at Gallery One, Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, brings together more than 200 rare and majestic textiles, including a wealth of embroideries from Central Asia never before exhibited in the region, that permit visitors to explore the exchange of trade and culture across the Silk Road and beyond.

These works, with their kaleidoscope of motifs and colours, create a form of abstract art and testify to the role of Islamic women in creating an artistic tradition of great significance and beauty.
