This rare and wonderful early cotton/silk tribal textile unfolds a story dozens of years in the making. The base, handspun from natural cotton, provides a breathable canvas for the delicate silk embroidery that dances across its surface. Both the cotton and silk were likely hand-dyed using natural elements, creating a unique connection to the natural world. The intricate embroidery depicts powerful protective figures, possibly nagas – serpent deities revered in Southeast Asian cultures. Stripes of colorful flowers and water symbols add to the visual narrative, imbuing the textile with cultural significance.
Originally crafted as a special occasion shawl, this versatile piece transcends its traditional purpose. Drape it over your table for a stunning runner, or hang it on your wall for a captivating focal point. Please note, runner is old and shows stains and other imperfections.
