Kothro, Quilted Dowry Bag.

This rectangular bag has an identical front and back and is devoid of embroidery. The central field is constructed of a bright, striped mashru fabric, with the details added by using pipings and patchwork. The bag is lined with cotton. A beautiful mashru fabric in vibrant hues has characteristic zigzag effect appearing in alternate ikat stripes.
The fabric is strikingly appliquéd with horizontal bands and diamond patterns along the border, the top having triangular bands of floral brocaded fabric with the design on the border as a repeat.
Mashru is a cotton and silk mixed fabric in which the silk yarn is brought on to the front surface by means of satin weave. The cloth was traditionally woven in Mandvi in Kutch and in Patan, Surat and Ahmedabad in Gujarat, as well as in the Deccan and the South.
