Vintage Galicha Kantha Blanket from north-west Bangladesh
290,00€ incl. VAT
This type of kantha is also known as a galicha; it originates from Rajshahi region, north-west Bangladesh. In Bengali, the word means ‘carpet’. They first appeared around the 1950s and 1970s.
Unlike most kanthas, which are made using running stitch, in the galicha the cross-stitch is not merely an occasional detail but the structural principle underpinning the entire front.
The white cotton fringes run along three sides of the quilt.
