118 Superfine Silk Tai Daeng Textile Art from Laos

Tai Daeng Woman’s Head Wrapper from Laos

Rich traditional silk with superfine weaving

Motifs beautifully interwoven to create a dense pattern at the ends of the textile.

The number of colors used in the composition directly impact the complexity of the mechanics of weaving it – the more colors used the longer it takes to weave it. In this elegant textile more than 4 colors have been used in one of the ends.

Will be perfect as a wall hanging but was originally meant to be worn as a head wrap

Superb piece.

300 x 58cm

This item has spent a lifetime being used for the purpose of its creation with the original artist/user. Signs of this life lived heartily may be present on the piece in the form of stains, thread loss, loose threads, holes, tears, color run and other imperfections. Therefore the condition must be assumed to be “not” perfect. More photos of such imperfections will be provided on request.
