Vintage Burmese Kalagala Tapestry
This exquisite wall-hanging showcases the impeccable craftsmanship of a Burmese Kalaga tapestry from the 1920s. This remarkable piece of art, adorned with metal sequins, intricate embroidery, and beading, would make a stunning addition to any wall. It is evident that the creation of this panel, featuring traditional techniques of stump work and applique, required months of dedicated work. The Kalaga, a renowned craft originating from Burma, rose to its peak during the early 20th century. The panel is expertly crafted on a black linen cloth, with lavish embroidery using shimmering gold threads, various applique stitches, and clear round glass stones. The intricate design depicts a grand procession with a caparisoned horse and a figure seated atop it. The figures are raised in stump work, with embellished faces and opulent gowns adorned with sequins and rich thread work.
The tapestry comes in very good condition ready to hang.
