A tapestry woven, pieced, silk Paithani sari with a dull pink ground,
gold brocade borders and identical pallus on both ends. The pallus

common Paithani motif of flowering plants) and a lower band of eight
larger asawali—set within a florally patterned rectangular border—
all rendered in green, yellow, white, balck and blue.
