Mr Wazir's wonders
Mr Wazir explains his collection of antique fabrics
A door topper panel
Check out the background of what we didn't see
A careful examination by all
A story with each piece- double ikat sari
Ply splitting camel belt
More split ply belts
Mr Wazirwas an entertaining man who while he would have welcomed purchases was generous with his time and collection. So much so that hegave me a piece- small child's hood embroidered about 50-60 years old. I later met him in Ahmedabad on the street near my hotel and he invited me to share breakfast and tea in his favourite restaurant. Most generous.
