Silk Shoulder Clothes, Narrow-width - Steel Teal Diamonds of Naga
Name: Steel Teal Diamonds of Naga
Item#: 17040
An elegantly understated textile, this traditional woman's shoulder cloth can be used as a scarf, wall hanging, or table runner. The textile is handwoven from village-raised, hand-reeled, naturally dyed silk. The motifs include a diamond of naga (spiritual river serpents) of importance to both the Lao and Tai cultures from which this textile patterning arose. The two-headed naga surround the center diamonds which, when used in a shamanic ceremony, represent a lantern to light the way to the spirit world. The textile comes with a photo of the weaver wearing her creation.
