Description
Long rectangular strip of woven textile
Long description
Long rectangular strip of woven textile (wider than 1999.32.1). The selvages are along the long edges of the strip. The textile is fairly loosely woven in fine black thread with a multicoloured supplementary weft pattern woven in geometrical designs along the whole length of the strip. The pattern is woven in cotton yarn and is more spread over the width of the textile and less finely worked than on 1999.32.1. The textile is probably from Northern Thailand or Myanmar (Burma) and is possibly meant as a sash or hem strip. [MdeA 22/6/2000]
