Story of Cranes - Kashmiri Silk Tapestry
Crewel work, typically executed in thin wool or silk thread on linen or cotton, offers a unique textural quality. It involves hand embroidery using a pointed hook, primarily for drapery and upholstery. Kashmiri crewel-work, renowned for its exquisite detail, is highly sought after globally, especially for wall hangings and rugs. At Inaãra, we collaborate with partners to offer exclusive collectible fabric art, each piece being a unique work of art. Our tapestries range from small to large sizes, with some as large as 6x4 feet, requiring months to complete.
This beautiful pastel piece depicts the cranes of Kashmiri wetlands. Cranes hold cultural significance as symbols of grace, longevity, and harmony with nature in Kashmiri culture. They are also associated with auspicious occasions and are considered to bring good fortune.
Cranes are depicted in ancient Kashmiri art and literature, reflecting their importance in the cultural and natural landscape of the region throughout history.
