Ajrakhs for Auction
Here are photos of some of our auction pieces for the April 16th Fundraiser. The patterns shown will be available in a variety of colours. These are printed with natural dyes, double sided, so each step in the production (and there can be over twenty steps) must be completed on both sides. Some of the patterns require that special reverse blocks be cut so that front and back match exactly.

Fabulous pieces! I wish I could be at the auction. I bought a double sided bed cover in Damadka a couple of years ago. Its similar to your first piece. I also have a scarf and a shawl. There's nothing as beautiful as Ajrak.

What are these pieces worth, or what is a likely range of prices at the auction?
