Though the nomadic women of Rajasthan wear long veils over their heads, their actual backs are surprisingly bare.  The choli is worn in all of its mirrored brilliance to deflect the evil eye and to attract, perhaps, the men in the family traveling on ahead and setting up camp.  Susan collects the Choli, a favorite and exuberant expression of a woman's life, her breasts celebrated, her midriff adorned.

Glorious hung.  Only wearable by the tiniest frames.

Vintage from India

Fibre mixed content

Due to the vintage nature of this textile, wear and tear over time may have effected certain areas.  It is sold as is.
