About the Item
A 19th century Burmese Kalaga tapestry with stones, sequins and golden thread. Immerse yourself in the grandeur of Burmese craftsmanship with this captivating 19th-century Kalaga tapestry. A cultural treasure from Burma (now Myanmar), this tapestry is an exemplary showcase of the intricate Kalaga technique, where elaborate embroidery and appliqué are deftly applied to a rich background fabric.
Kalagas typically boast a harmonious blend of silk, flannel, felt, wool, and lace, meticulously assembled on a cotton or velvet backdrop.
