THIS SCARF or WALL HANGING PHOTOGRAPHED IS THE ACTUAL PIECE YOU WILL RECIEVE. IT IS CERTAINLY A ONE-OFF PIECE OF GORGEOUS TEXTILE ART.   IT TRUELY IS BEAUTIFUL AND HARD TO CAPTURE IN THE LENS OF A CAMERA. YOU CERTAINLY WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS HAND WOVEN TEXTILE.

THERE MAY BE TINY INCONSISTENCIES IN THE SHAWL, BUT THIS IS THE CHARM OF A HANDWOVEN TEXTILE FROM A RURAL VILLAGE IN LAOS. THIS STYLE OF WEAVING IS CRAFTED ON A TRADITIONAL TIMBER LOOM BY THE HMONG PEOPLE OF NORTHERN LAOS. THEY ARE A TRIBAL MINORITY GROUP THAT LIVE VERY SIMPLY AND STILL HAND PICK AND WEAVE MAGNIFICENT SILK FABRICS.

THIS SILK IS SOFT AND THICK WITH QUALITY. IT CAN BE USED AS A SCARF, SHAWL, BED RUNNER, BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE WALL HANGING, TABLE RUNNER, HEAD DRESS , SHOULDER CLOTH ETC.

THIS TEXTILE IS A HAND CRAFTED WORK OF ART, LUXURIOUS AND CONTEMPORY. RICH BRONZE, GOLDS, OLIVE GREENS, RED AND COPPER SILK THREADS WITH A HAND KNOTTED FRINGE MAKE THIS PIECE SHIMMER. 

NO TWO LAOS SILKS ARE THE SAME. EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT IN COLOUR COMBINATIONS AND DESIGNS VARY. THE WORK IS VERY TIME CONSUMING AND INTRICATE. A SCARF OF THIS SIZE TAKES SEVERAL WEEKS TO COMPLETE WEAVING. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A PARTICUALR COLOUR PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH YOUR REQUEST AND I WILL DO MY BEST FOR YOU.

THE WEAVERS HAND PICK INTRICATE BROCADE PATTERNS. THE TEXTILES HAVE TRIBAL AND RITUAL SIGNIFICANCE AND ARE WORN BY THE LOCALS AND USED AS BUDDIST TEMPLE OFFERINGS.
