MOHUR RESPLENDENCE The ‘Ashrafi’ which translates into a coin or ‘mohur’ in Persian, marked the coinage in gold in the Indian monetary system introduced by Sher Shah Suri. A symbol of prosperity, this was transposed in resplendent metallic threads in weaving heavy gilded brocades as a political, economic and cultural documentation of our rich heritage. At Warp ‘n Weft,  we love to use this ‘Ashrafi’ buta or motif as a juxtaposition of urbanity in antiquity. #BANĀRASIPANĀ #WarpnWeft #Weaves #Mohur #Ashrafi . . . . #banarasi #saree #heirloom #textilesofindia #indianbride #indianwedding https://www.instagram.com/p/CC4_JHMJ4Kc/?igshid=td3xnao1eqbu
