riyal - ancient and precious
Riyal is the Arabic term for coin and is the name widely used by printers to describe designs built around circular motifs. It is a type of Ajrakh printing that is thought to have existed in India for over 4500 years.
The Riyal print has also been named Jewel box, giving it a super precious vibe.
