The two peacocks facing each other, embroidered in the middle of the tapestry is a traditional design named ‘juria-moura’. Use of bird motifs in textiles of Assam roots to deep socio-cultural significance and is regarded as sacred attributing to the origin of the tribes. 

The Wall Tapestry Collection is inspired by an elegant symbol of culture and pride of Assam, the Gamusa. It is a unique piece of textile, traditionally woven in white cloth with red motifs and stripes. The motifs used in a Gamusa are symbolic elements of Assamese culture and tradition, inspired by its unique flora and fauna, crafts, folk music & dance, literature, craft, sculpture and architecture. The Gamusa is an integral part of the state’s identity and a means of livelihood for the community. It is also a symbol of gratitude, often used to adorn elders or loved ones as a token of respect and appreciation. Technique of Aari embroidery has been used to make Assamese inspired motifs on the silk cloth.
