Lower Garment
Alternative Title: Shawl
Keywords: Lower Garment
Garment
Publisher: National Museum, New Delhi
Description: A red coloured fine machinery stitched cloth with black coloured lateral borders and centrally aligned black and yellow vertical stripes. A strip of diamond-shaped is stitched horizontally in the middle of the cloth, which is probably a hand-stitched due to its rough texture. The cloth is stitched into one and is actually a two-piece cloth stitched from the vertical centre. It serves the purpose of the lower garment in the Adi tribe community; it also implies its status to a particular individual with a class or to a subgroup of the tribe. It might also hold a definite occasion for its use such as a festival or a marriage. The cross-checked patterns can be observed in the horizontal band in the centre.
