SK #LONG Raja Kumari (Medium)

A princess, Raja Kumari in Telugu, steps out of her palace on a walk to the temple. As depicted by Textile Designer Suneetha/Bhaavana, using techniques of figure sculpture, silk origami, and appliqué, her exalted status is evident in the finery of clothing and adornment. From the golden braids woven into her plaited hair, to the extravagant ornamentation of her silken umbrella, she is well and truly regal. The scene, veiled in opulent folds of linen and lace, is complemented by American jewelry designer Ronda Terry's bejeweled button of filigreed and enameled metal discs.
