2113 Handwoven Assamese Textile fragment
Handwoven Assamese Textile Fragment with silk weaving
Beautiful woven textile fragment from Assam in North East India.
Slate black field with supplementary thread weaving in contrasting shades - natural dyes
Motif of a local legendary figure
Assam weavings are rarely seen outside Assam as the production is very limited and all the production gets consumed in the home state itself.
The few that reach other markets are among the most expensive handlooms available in India.
Would be perfect mounted and framed as wall art. Easy to cut out the excess height to suit the space that this would adorn.
Also good as a study sample.
Made by an awarded masterweaver.
About 20 years old
90 cm x 99 cm (height)
