Skirt2787/10

Ceremonial women's wrap skirt. The two panels of hand dyed purple silk, hand-loomed with a discontinuous warp, are stitched together at a horizontal seam that runs across the middle of the skirt. The continuous and discontinuous supplementary weft of silver thread creates a band of triangular temple-like motifs along the bottom and one side edge of the skirt and several lines of silver stars within the body of the fabric.
