Gift of Dr.R.D.Gangatharan in memory of Mrs Lakshmi Rengasamy Davar
In the years preceding the Second World War Indian women in Singapore were essentially homemakers and contributed to community work, arts and crafts. This is a bedspread from the collection of the late Lakshmi Rangasamy Davar; she was a woman pioneer – she was an educationist, musician and philanthropist.
