Detail of a patola (Vagh Haathi Bhat) odhani

Detail from the body of a double ikat patola odhani, showcasing a diamond pattern—its square registers filled with alternating motifs of processional elephants with howdahs and tigers against a black ground. The use of the term haathi, instead of the more specifically Gujarati kunjar, used in other patterns with elephants, is explained by its appearance only to refer to patterns meant primarily for export.
