The Sindhi Taropa denotes the interlacing stich embroidery-- the basic structure which is first built up with the use of long thread stitches into the surface and entire structure being built up thereafter by looping these threads, the overall effect produced is geometrical; floral patterns or figures, whatever is worked out through this type of stitch become-somewhat stylized. Practically the stitch is used as a means of achieving only an impression of the figure or motif which is aimed at.
