The object that we discuss here is a saree: a luminous, dual-toned Banarasi, whose history takes us back to a time period of more than a hundred years ago. It belonged to Tapati Rani Devya, my mother’s great-grandmother. She is a figure so distant from me in lineage, that I know only fragments of information that allow me to paint an incomplete picture of what her life might have looked like| Museum of Material Memory
The postcard is about 5.5" x 3.5" in dimensions. There's a round black seal beside the stamp which reads "26 Mar 49 , 8 AM , Comilla''. That means it was posted at 08:00 am, 26th March, 1949, from the post office in Comilla.| Museum of Material Memory
