Home Decor - Jungle Animals Door Curtain
Name: Jungle Animals Door Curtain
Item#: 15356
Traditionally, in Laos, houses did not have internal doors. Instead, door curtains would be used in place of a door, and motifs, both mythological and natural, would be woven into the door curtain to provide spiritual protection to those using the room. The curtain would be pushed to the side as people entered and exited the door. This door curtain is handwoven with cotton blend bright red ground, with naturally dyed silk weft patterning of a variety of jungle animals including snakes, civets, monkeys, birds, peacocks, deer, frogs, ducks, and many more motifs. Comes with a photo of the weaver holding her textile.
