Exquisite Sumatra Tampan Shipcloth
Late 1800s
Likely from Brani, Sumatra
Condition is poor – many areas of damage.
Drawing is amazing.

This is among my favorite pieces and am reluctant to sell it so I’ve priced it higher to reflect my separation anxiety.

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.
