Asia, circa 1910 or before.It has a spectacular color range with superb greens and brilliant yellows and red dyes.Textiles like this were made as bridal dowry offerings and would often be hung inside the tent as decoration.It's made using all silk materials, including red colored silk tassels and a completely unusual design back, which resembles a rough sketch for another piece, quite rare to have a back like this on a Lakai piece.Has many unique talismanic design elements and a spectacular range of all-natural color tones.Certainly one of the most uniquely shaped Lakai textiles, which would make a wonderful wall hanging, enhancing your living space and giving it character and beauty. 1'1 by 2'1(32cm by 61cm) You can contact us directly via email at rubiadarya@mymts.net
