DescriptionThis is a choli or gaj (the part of a wedding tunic that covers the chest). It is an example of Sindhi Lohana textiles; the Sindhi Lohana are a group of Lohana (an Indian caste working as merchants) who migrated from Sindh after the partition of India in 1947. Sindhi textiles are notable for their incorporation of mirror fragments as decoration, as seen in this object.
