ವ್ಯಾಪಾರದ ಜವಳಿ ತುಣುಕುಗಳು
Cotton textiles that were resist-dyed, painted and block printed were commissioned and traded across the Indian Ocean, a hub of maritime commerce since at least the beginning of the millennium. Known for their colour fastness and designs, these textiles attracted buyers from regions in present day Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Sri Lanka.
Calico textiles were woven from rough, unbleached cotton and block printed with a variety of designs. Chintz textiles were similarly produced from glazed cotton fabric and were printed with geometric and floral designs. Both calico and chintz were traded extensively with North America and Europe. Printed or painted cotton textiles were also made for the Japanese market and came to be known as ‘sarasa’. The fragments here were made for various Southeast Asian markets.
