Striking sky blue, crimson & white Naga tribal textile cotton story quilt, animals, totems, boho hilltribe tapestry Thailand India EC176

Riveting scenes of mountain folk amassing and beasts of jungle and burden squawking and gawking. Traditional symbolism chart.

I was so excited to find this with the more spartan color scheme and massive embroidery work! So unusual with the almost monochrome colors...the mint green background and the figures in pale yellow/tan and cantaloupe . What a masterpiece!

The blanket has a dense, 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 39 in x 73 in. without the fringe.
