Antique "Tree of Life" Kalamkari (#5539 | 44 1/2 x 37")
This early 20th century "Tree of Life" Kalamkari is in the Srikalahasti style, meaning it is hand drawn and hand painted with natural, or plant-based, dyes.
The process can be quite labor intensive and typically involves twenty-three meticulous steps from bleaching, softening and sun drying the fabric to the mixing of dyes and artistic free hand drawing as well as painting with washes between each color.
The peacock is the national bird of India and represents love, beauty, romance and life.
