This is a reverse applique (katabwork) door hanging (toran) with six pointed pendants. Cut-out designs of animal-like shapes in red, blue and green are on a white background. It was made by and for the merchant community in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat. Applique work there is often done by older women, whose eyes are no longer sharp enough for embroidery.
