This vintage Bhutanese cotton textile is a long, narrow fabric piece characterized by its vibrant and intricate striped pattern. The textile features alternating vertical bands of deep red, black, white, and subtle shades of blue and orange. Within the broader stripes are finer geometric and linear motifs typical of Bhutanese weaving, showcasing the artisan’s skill in creating detailed, rhythmic designs that carry cultural significance.
The textile has a delicate fringe at one end, adding to its traditional handmade charm. The rich, earthy color palette combined with the precise, repetitive patterns reflects Bhutanese aesthetic principles rooted in nature and symbolism, often used in garments, sashes, or decorative purposes within Bhutanese culture.
This piece is an excellent example of Bhutanese craftsmanship, demonstrating both functional and artistic qualities, perfect for collectors of ethnic textiles or for use in authentic cultural décor.
