Vintage Textile, Laos, Mid 20th Century – This sophisticated and exquisitely styled antique Lao textile showcases a rich variety of ancient protection symbols and glyphs woven into an intricate pattern of flat-weave stripes. Strong rectilinear crab motifs with spiraling latch-hook extensions decorate each striped compartment while chic papyrus-colored motifs blaze an intricate pattern that is set off from the bold striped background. Blushing rose pinks, electric violet purples and bold fuchsia hues are the perfect accompaniment to the soft neutral accents that delineate the consistent repeating pattern. This delightful antique Lao textile features a rich assortment of exotic colors that are paired with ancient protective symbols that have special spiritual and mystical meanings to the weaver and to members of the Lao culture.
