| Description |
Patka (sash) woven in the late 1600s in India. Of plain-woven cotton and silk, embroidered with blue and green thread. Part of the exhibit "Art and Stories of Mughal India" at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio. The sash was a critical part of Mughal men's wear. The broad cloth would be folded lengthwise several time, then wound around the waist and tied to keep the long coat closed. A dagger would be tucked into it or hung from it. The embroidered ends were a symbol of wealth, social status, and pride. Floral motifs were common on sashes beginning with the reign of Shah Jahan (1628 to 1658). This sash is embroidered with blue hyacinths, a symbol of the Persian New Year. |
