3. Cotton.—Plain ; silk in borders and ends.
In this class the ornamentation is accomplished by the use of silk.
In No. 45 the silk is inserted in the border only, and in No. 48 in the end only; but
in the other examples given in the table below, both ends and borders are of silk.
Nos. 44, 45, 48, afford examples of the pleasing effect produced by making the pointings
(called Kutaree, from Kutcir, a dagger) seemingly unite the inner side of the border to
the body of the garment.
