| Designed to display ceremonial weavings, this teak wood hanger from Sumatra is carved into a sinuous pattern of swirling vines. A slot below the pierced carving allows thin cloth to be slipped through so that the carved vines act as a headpiece or crown for the fabric. The dark honey-toned Indonesian teak and the organic feel of the carving complement a variety of collectible textiles, providing they are not too thick to be pulled easily through the slot. The hanger is shown in photographs here with two quite different fabrics--a ceremonial Batak Sumatran cotton weaving and a contemporary silk lotus panel from Vietnam. This mid to late 20th century piece is in excellent condition. Dimensions: height 6 ½” (17 cm), width 28” (71 cm), depth ¾” (2 cm). | |||||||||||
