The works were brought to the UK when the family relocated here in 1966. Footnote : Phulkaris were ceremoniously exchanged between various members of the family during marriage festivities. These included the passing down of phulkaris from mother to daughter, or grandmother to granddaughter, or in the form of the highly particularised vari da bagh, a type of embroidery that was gifted by the groom's family as part of marriage arrangement. Soft, untwisted silk floss thread called as “pat” came from various places like Kashmir, Bengal and even from Afghanistan, and Turkistan, but were dyed locally in Amritsar and Jammu, and women could obtain this from nomadic merchants. Partition in 1947 changed the availability of these silk flosses.Further reading: Aryan, S. & B.N.

The figure is depicted standing with a commanding presence, adorned with intricate facial and body tattoos, which are deeply incised into the bronze, emphasizing cultural significance. He wears a draped cloak over his shoulders, and his detailed musculature and expressive facial features lend a lifelike intensity to the piece. His ear ornaments, facial scars, and traditional staff further accentuate the historical and tribal identity captured in this work.
