Exuding old-world charm, this is a timeless Muga silk saree with a traditional booti patterned body set against a breathtakingly intricate border and pallu, adorned with Mishmi tribal motifs in natural-dyed red and black Eri silk.
Muga silk, indigenous to Assam, is recognised by its characteristic golden sheen and richness. It is one of the most rarest silks, owing to the fact that it is produced nowhere else but in Assam. It is also one of the most expensive silks in the world. Being expensive, however, has no bearing on its popularity as Muga remains one of the most desired silks across the globe.
This is a handwoven piece, unevenness in the selvedge and weave could be expected.
