1573 Vintage Silk Laotian WeavingTextile Art

Ravishing Ceremonial Silk Textile from Laos

Rich traditional silk with superfine weaving that may be used as a personal style accessory or home decor accent.

Beautiful sober muted palette

Mythological motifs beautifully interwoven to create a dense pattern all over the textile.

The number of colors of supplementary silk thread used in the weaving composition directly impacts the complexity of the mechanics of weaving it - the more colors used the longer it takes to weave it. In this gorgeous textile 4 colors have been used all over the piece!

The silk is not easy to photograph perfectly - so do ask for more photos if in doubt.

Will be perfect as a wall hanging but was originally meant as a wrap / stole.

Superb piece.

268 x 72 cm

Estimated to be from the 1960s-70s
