| This beautiful textile is in a traditional Laotian style and was hand woven in the “Khet” process in which the warp yarns are cotton thread and the weft yarns are raw silk. The design is executed in a colorful geometric weave with stylized birds and diagonal bands in teals, burgundies, yellow, pink and off white against a black background. All natural dyes have been used. This type of weaving is very time consuming and is becoming quite scarce today as Laotian weavers move to the city to find more profitable employment. This textile was most likely used as a ceremonial banner and would make a stunning wall hanging, sofa throw or shawl gathered around the shoulders. Approximately 25 to 35 years old and in excellent condition. For a similar textile using the same process, see our listing, stock #TX30. The lovely Indonesian teak textile hanger is also for sale for $260. DIMENSIONS: 26” wide x 70” long. | ||||||||||||
