1580 Rare Old Woven Figurative Pua Sungkit with Tree of Life

An exceptional sungkit woven cloth with human motifs

Unusual layout as this does not have a repetitive pattern as is usually seen. Instead this has a design layout that the weaver would have had to plan in advance for the whole piece.

Tree of Life design with two human figures.

Beautiful shade of rust with a few yellow & and a few orange highlights.

Estimated to be from the 1950-60s

Has minor and even color run in some parts

 

***

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.
