Unusual smokey black indigo Naga tribal textile cotton story quilt animal lover hunger's mecca boho hilltribe tapestry Thailand India RB68

Riveting scenes of mountain folk amassing and beasts of jungle and burden squawking and gawking. Note the chief's hut, the ring of totem poles on the sides and bottom, the peace pipe, and the innumerable animals. Densely "populated" and I've never seen one quite like this.

The blanket has a handwoven cotton base which is then hand embroidered also in cotton. It takes months to complete.

The textile is new but has a vintage feel. Being handmade, some slight imperfections in the weaving and color are normal and to be expected. Some lighter blankets are more prone to slight marks and "scars" and sometimes pen around the figures...testimony to the rustic, jungle living/working/transport conditions of the makers and a naif art badge.

The dimensions are 66 in x 39 in. without the fringe.
