1815 Rare Antique Tibetan Textile Tahden or Pangden with Pattu and Stamp Dye

Very Rare Himalayan Textile that may be a woman's winter Pangden 

Stated to be a Tahden horse-blanket  by the dealer I acquired this from. But the elaborate lining of pattu makes me believe otherwise. {see the fascinating detailed images of the back)

Stamp dyed

Hand woven and then stamp dyed.

Early 1900s

Size: 37'' x 50.5'' (94 x 128 cm).
