1901 SOLD Antique Indian Trade Textile Toraja Fragment

A stunning large rectangular fragment of an Indian Trade textile.

Amazing blue & salmon red/pink/peach on fine cloth.

Collected on a field visit to Toraja, Sulawesi. 

This fragment has been saved from a fire - therefore has burn marks present. Holes and stains. Edges not even. 

74 x 115 cm

For similar examples, see the Ashmolean Museum collection: Link

Comparison with other similar examples suggests that this is a few centuries old.

[Similar examples have been dated to be from the 13th - 19th century]

This is a rare opportunity to own something as rare and as old as this fantastic little work of art that had traveled from India to Toraja sometime in it's past and then has back to Singapore. 

VERY RARE

Such pieces can be found only in museums.

Frame it and add it to your home-museum collection.
