Modal Silk Ajrakh Hand Block Medallion Stripe Saree in Black

Black and cream in Ajrakh is a conversation about precision. The body of this modal silk opens simply — plain black ground with fine horizontal salaidar stripes running across the lower section, the stripes precise and even. At the centre, a large diamond medallion panel carries a dense floral dot jaal in black and cream inside it, a contained world within the open ground. A sawtooth border in cream frames the whole composition. The pallu is the piece's most unexpected element. Ornate scalloped arches carry figurative motifs in cream and gold — dancers or figures within each arch, a decorative register entirely different from the geometric vocabulary of the body. The contrast is deliberate. Modal silk gives the whole piece the same softness throughout, making the shift from minimal body to ornate pallu feel like a single continuous garment rather than two separate ideas.
