DescriptionCambodian tie-dyes are made today of artificial silk and gaudy synthetic dyes. They are patterned solely by the tritik (stitch-resist) technique. This example still retains the raised and pinched appearance of a new article before it has been smoothened by washing and ironing. It features a central circle filled with a rosette of nine dots and surrounded by four floral and four triangular motifs. The corners are decorated with filled quadrants and the cloth is edged with zigzags.
Bandhani is an Indian tie-dye technique, sometimes called ‘chunari’ in Gujarat.Head scarf, tie-dye on synthentic silk
