Through a symmetrical but diverse sound grid composition, this piece beautifully captures the nomadic heritage and detailed artistry of the Jat community of Kutch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJat Garaasiya is a specialized embroidery style practiced exclusively by the women of specific subgroups of the Kutchi Jat community. Historically rendered on the yokes of garments, this art form is distinctively executed as a counted thread embroidery style. Using only a single type of stitch, a tiny cross stitch rendered in double thread, a continuous pattern that closely resembles the complex mosaics found in Islamic tile work is created.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe central composition of this panel features an elaborate array of alternating concentric circles, diamonds and flower-like motifs (squares with semicircles on its four sides). This piece is further surrounded by similar motifs all around. At the top and bottom, there are two identical broad bands, These bands prominently feature large circular wheel-like medallions, along with semicircular motifs of a similar design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe color palette relies on earthy tones such as rust red, olive green, slate grey and mustard yellow, all defined and separated by fine, crisp lines of cream thread that establish the underlying grid structure. There are small, round mirrors (abhla) embedded at the core of these geometric forms. These mirrors form perfect vertical and horizontal lines across the composition, reflecting light beautifully.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA key feature of Jat Garaasiya embroidery is the flawless uniformity and structural balance of its layout. Despite being rendered entirely by counting warp and weft threads on a thick, coarse cotton fabric. The tension of the thousands of interlocking cross stitches ensures the entire panel sits perfectly flat in its square form, and the base fabric underneath the embroidery does not show through.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49255599374550,"sku":null,"price":6500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/1._Geometric_Patterns_in_Earthy_Tones_in_Jat_Garaasiya_Embroidery.png?v=1784108025","url":"https:\/\/www.memeraki.com\/products\/geometric-patterns-in-earthy-tones-in-jat-garaasiya-embroidery","provider":"Memeraki Retail and Tech Pvt Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
