Stately Burgundy and Gold Naga
Name: Stately Burgundy and Gold Naga
Item#: 13045
One of Souksakhone's perpetually stellar designs, the patterns included in this piece are predominantly naga (mythological river serpents). The body is filled with different forms of naga, from diamond to triangle headed, and from pregnant (different colors making up the body), or not (solid color body). There are also stylized tiny ancestor spirits between the naga in little diamonds which represent a lantern to light the way to the ancestor world. The gold is from kor ben (a huge jungle tree) bark, black from the gold being soaked in the dirt from the burned rice fields for 3 days, red from lac, and others. A picture of the artist modeling her textile is included with purchase.
