Pawndum

Pawndum is a woven textile made on a traditional loin loom, originally using homespun cotton dyed with natural dyes, now replaced by synthetic yarns. It features a deep black woof crossing multi-colored warp threads, enhancing their brilliance. Used as a shroud, it measures about 65" in length and 35" in breadth, though sizes can vary. The textile is highly regarded for its craftsmanship and cultural significance.
