Handwoven purple mauve off-white black tribal silk cotton runner tapestry Laos textile, hand spun throw, natural dye boho ethnic decor RB75
Riveting yet not of rivets.
These Laos Tai Lue weavings are based on traditional motifs and designs. There is a rich story and significance based on each symbol, most often centered around fundamentals such as water, harvest, fertility, and spiritual life. A common and somewhat easily recognized symbol is that of the Naga/water dragon. There are multiple double-headed Nagas in this textile that are easily seen and look much like a person making a letter "U" with their arms. Below I recount a beautiful and fanciful story about this mythic creature.
The condition is unused and the age fairly recent. There will be some characteristic aberrations in the silk and cotton weaving, testament to the handmade weaving, and inescapable in rural, village-woven textiles.
Both sides of the textile can be used as fronts per your personal preference.
The dimensions are 72 in x 31 in without the fringe.
This is a handwoven and hand embroidered textile. Please expect normal telltale signs of the human textile artist (aberrations in the weaving and embroidery)! Who wants perfect machine made?? This is why we love handmade!
