Textile947/1

Large, rectangular, hand-woven, multi-coloured, multi-patterned textile (kira), worn by women as a wrap dress, part of the national dress of Bhutan. Woven in three long, narrow panels, which have been stitched together edge-to-edge, matching the patterns accurately on the seam lines. The long vertical edges are woven in colourful red, green, blue and yellow stripes, forming a 13.5 cm decorative border on each side; narrow vertical stripes (0.75 cm to 1.5 cm) of blue, red and mixed colours appear at irregular intervals across the textile. On an off-white background between the coloured stripes, are many multi-coloured, intricate, geometric patterns that have been applied horizontally with a discontinuous supplementary weft technique, forming a wide variety of motifs and border designs that float on the surface and have the appearance of embroidery. Only the ends of the supplementary-weft designs show on the reverse side. Red is the predominant colour, but a whole range of primary and secondary colours appear in the designs. Many loose ends and unattached threads show on both sides of the textile. The warp threads are twisted to form a short fringe at each end.
