OLD FINE EMBROIDERY RABARI ETHNIC DOOR VALANCE TRIBAL WALL DECOR TORAN Thanks for watching this page! The item you just saw is an extraordinary, single of its kind, Vintage Genuine Old and Rare Hand-Embroidered Door/ Window Toran/ Valance. This very fine and intricate embroidery is worked with the help of an ‘Aar' (holed needle) where the thread is introduced from beneath the base. This is known as ‘Mochi Bharat' (Cobbler's stitch). In the earlier days, silk thread was used on satin (Gaji) fabric but later cotton was commonly used as its base as used here in this extra-ordinary piece. Although the technique is simple in principle, still it requires extensive skills and long practice. This art grew and prospered under the sponsorship of royal families in Kutch and Saurashtra.
