Beautiful old Zhuang minority textile from Guangxi Zhuang/Guizhou province, China. Woven in two panels with silk embroidered “diamond and star” patterned border, "wanzi" swastika key fret and well symbols. There are small repairs noted in last enlargement minor fading on the left edge- all consistent with an old piece, some orange and brighter purple silk thread seem to be a later embellishment, indicating that this piece has been handed down several generations and highlights the well toned abrash of the original pattern. Circa 1920 to 1950. Mounted with black handspun cotton border. Unmounted dimensions-68cm/27in x 68cm/27in .https://www.trocadero.com/stores/abhayaasianart/items/1414941/Zhuang-Childs-Blanket
