{"product_id":"siddi-quilt-copy","title":"Mosaic Heritage in Siddi Quilt by Kashi Kellaginamene","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis vibrant textile artwork by Kashi Kellaginamene presents a striking example of a traditional Siddi Kawandi quilt, created by women of the Siddi community in Karnataka, Goa and Maharashtra. The Siddis are an Afro-Indian community descended from Bantu peoples of Southeast Africa who settled in India centuries ago, preserving a rich, distinct textile tradition centered around quilting. Unlike traditional Western or Indian patchworking constructed from the center outward, a Kawandi is hand-stitched entirely from the outside edges moving inward toward the center. Craftswomen utilize repurposed sari scraps, old garments, and fabric cuttings, layering small geometric patches, often featuring signature corner triangles (phula or flower motifs) onto an underlying cloth backing with rhythmic, visible running stitches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is arranged as a bold, improvisational grid of geometric blocks bursting with saturated fields of magenta, crimson red, mustard yellow, cobalt blue, deep forest green, and dark plum. Interspersed across these saturated fields are contrast-heavy checkerboard squares, diagonal steps, nested L-shaped borders, floral printed cotton inserts, and scattered white mosaic accents. Suspended in an elegant wall-tapestry style from a brass rod, this modern exhibition placement transforms a traditionally domestic, utilitarian quilt into a monumental work of contemporary fiber art that celebrates resilience, sustainability, and cross-cultural heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kashi Kellaginamene","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67761713152214,"sku":null,"price":30000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/IMG-20261023-WA0062.jpg?v=1792787541","url":"https:\/\/www.memeraki.com\/products\/siddi-quilt-copy","provider":"Memeraki Retail and Tech Pvt Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
