Name: Olive & Earth-Tone Pedana Kota Cotton Saree with Tribal Folk Art Prints Material: Handloom Kota Cotton Craft: Pedana Hand-Block Printing
This piece stands out for its storytelling elements, blending animal motifs with human figures in a traditional folk-art style.
The Body: Decorated with whimsical olive-green elephant motifs and abstract shapes. The earthy green tone against the natural beige Kota base creates a calming, organic aesthetic. The signature "khat" checkered weave adds a subtle structural grid to the playful print.
The Border: A highly detailed narrative border featuring black-and-beige block prints of tribal figures in traditional dance or daily life poses. This "pattachitra" style border is flanked by a classic gold Zari edge, which adds a touch of brightness and formal appeal.
To maintain the integrity of the hand-block prints and the delicate Kota weave, please follow these guidelines:
First Wash: It is highly recommended to do a hand wash gently by using shampoo without scrubbing or wringing
Ironing: Use a medium-low heat setting. It is best to iron on the reverse side or place a thin cotton cloth over the saree while pressing to protect the prints
