The impact of Bagh block prints comes from the dramatic use of red and black; a style which originates with the Bhil and Bhilala cultures of central India. This print features the bold black print on light background, without red. These block prints are made in the traditional way using natural dyes and a process that has multiple distinct steps including scouring, mordanting, printing, washing and immersion dying.
