Viewed up close, the tiny woven dots reveal the handloom's fine, deliberate patterning; from a distance, they read as a softly textured solid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Vintage, estimated mid 20th century\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Gujarat, Western India (Mashru tradition, Kankani dot-weave pattern, Anjar\/Kutch)\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Silk warp \/ cotton weft; fuchsia contrast piping\u003cbr\u003eSize: 19\"(W) x 19\"(H)\u003cbr\u003eColor: Deep black ground, fine white micro-dot pattern, fuchsia piping\u003cbr\u003eFill: Custom down-blend insert \u003cbr\u003eCondition: Vintage courtesy of hand-woven irregularities and natural creasing; wear consistent with age, no structural concerns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA hand-loomed Mashru silk-and-cotton pillow from Gujarat, India, in the traditional Kankani micro-dot pattern on deep black.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is a solid-ground Kankani piece less collectible than a multi-color striped Mashru?
