Historically donned by the royal families of Assam, this Muga silk mekhela sador is the perfect piece for a rich, regal and distinctively traditional look. Regal Gomcheng motifs, which is said to be associated with the Ahom kingdom, in undyed Eri silk adorn this gorgeous classic.
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 in the world 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.
