1518 Antique Sumatra Weaving Tampan Shipcloth Textile

Gorgeous drawing on a large antique Tampan ship cloth from Indonesia

Note the level of detail in this piece and the symmetry

We see motifs that are almost identical and would work well for a game of "spot the difference" [The two composite photos focus on the similar sections]

Tremendous artistic energy has gone into creating this beautiful work of art.

Hand-spun cotton.

Estimated to be from the early-mid 1800s

Condition is commensurate with age. Has repairs and damage.
