antique tibetan split ply textile (not woven on a loom, so it is weftless). these textiles are not really uncommon but it seems that they were never produced in great number. mostly one come accross smaller pieces , bands used as animal trapping. but pieces of this size (57x 127cm) as not so common , especially with such a striking and so well executed design.it is made of 3 bands sewn together along the sides. each bands has been originally made in one piece of 127cm long; so it is not shut in the middle. please note the 2 different scales of the zigzag design on both side and how well the transition is executed. the design on both ends shows different pattern elements; among them a row of endless knot and a row of what can be obvously interpreted as dorje (please see the last image). another row possibly evokes the flamming pearl design.
