Caviar-Black Bomkai Silk Sari from Orissa with Hand-woven Warli Motifs

The Bomkai region of Orissa is as well-known for its sobre, understated numbers as for those gorgeous ivory and red-bordered wedding sarees. This one is a quality example of the former class of Indian sarees, handpicked for the pure silk of its make and the superb weave on the field and the endpiece. The Indian dusk colour palette of black and azure makes this a great evening saree. The black of the field is woven in with a plethora of warli-style figures, in tints of blue and white that match the colours of the endpiece. Warli is a style of folk art that belongs to the Southwest, but its minimalistic style and dynamism are replicated in regional fashion across the subcontinent, as could be seen here. The endpiece alone is a head-turner.
