SHAHTEER - CHEVRON ARTISTRY
The Shahteer or Leheriya is a chevron pattern with zig-zags playfully intersecting each other in a seamless pattern. A design movement that started in Greece as early as 1800 BC, it is seen in many forms of art such as pottery and ancient carvings. The design travelled to the heart of Banaras and the Chevron or Shahteer designs add a wonderful precision and geometry in kadhwa on a canvas of pure katan silk.
