{"product_id":"fragment-of-hanging-fine-art-print","title":"Fragment of Hanging - Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed reproduction of a medieval Indian block-printed cotton fragment, featuring rhythmic figures and a decorative floral border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis textile fragment represents a significant example of early Indian block-printed cotton, likely produced in the Gujarat region. The piece displays a sophisticated use of mordant dyeing, a technique that allowed for the application of permanent colours onto cotton fibres. The composition is structured around a central field populated by repeated figures, framed by a distinct border featuring stylised floral motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figures within the central panel appear to be engaged in ritual or courtly activities, carrying vessels or offerings. Their stylised forms and the rhythmic repetition of their postures suggest a highly developed decorative tradition. The colour palette, dominated by deep madder reds, indigo blues, and natural cotton tones, reflects the specific chemical properties of the dyes available to artisans of the period. The border design, with its alternating floral and face-like elements, provides a strong geometric contrast to the more fluid, crowded arrangement of the central scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a fragment, the piece offers a glimpse into the production of large-scale hangings, which were often used for religious or ceremonial purposes. The wear and loss of material across the surface reveal the underlying weave of the cotton, providing evidence of the physical construction of the object. This print captures the aesthetic qualities of the original textile, preserving the visual rhythm and the specific character of the hand-blocked application. It serves as a record of historical craftsmanship, documenting the intersection of technical skill and decorative narrative in medieval textile production. The work is representative of the trade goods that circulated across the Indian Ocean, influencing aesthetic preferences in distant markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/architectural-studies-of-the-oude-kerk-fine-art-print\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eArchitectural Studies of the Oude Kerk - Fine Art Print — Fine Art Print\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/untitled-animal-and-bird-studies-fine-art-print\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Animal and Bird Studies) - Fine Art Print — Unidentified Artist\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown Artist","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58898978537807,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58899039060303,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58899039093071,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58899039125839,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58899039158607,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58899039191375,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58899039224143,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58899039256911,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58899039289679,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58899039322447,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58899039355215,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58899039387983,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Fragment-of-Hanging_Poster_CompositorV1_1790522701638.jpg?v=1790523745","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/fragment-of-hanging-fine-art-print","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
