Item#: 1519

A subtle light aqua, handwoven, natural-dyed healing cloth with precise weaving and delicate colors, this piece has an aqua-on-aqua "man" panel with a natural, yellow, green, gold, and coral center diamond and bordering panels, and a "woman" side with solid supplemental weft in primarily natural, and then the same additional colors. The primary pattern is a center diamond representing the all-seeing "third eye" or "cosmic navel", with additional patterns of crested naga (mythical river serpents), hong birds and flowers, with borders including horses, siho (mythical elephant-lions), budha figure in a temple, naga towers, and flower patterns. The weaving is very fine and precise.
