About the Item
The large hooked triangle that dominates the composition of this other Tulu acts as a directional motif delineating the prayer niche, which follows the direction of weaving. It could just as well be meditation element connected to the ancient cults of the Neolithic period, as the large triangle is rendered in such a way as if it was depicting a giant pregnant Goddess. The traces of henna painting on the left border emphasize its ritual significance.
