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.
