About this piece

Burgundy rules this one, with tidy dashes of pink and gold.

This kira, or woman’s dress, was woven in cotton in Bhutan in the 20th century. The kira is the national wrapped dress of Bhutanese women and is commonly made in wool, cotton or silk. Dense vertical bars of burgundy, pink, gold and blue-grey form a pattern of small woven dashes, bordered by plain edges. The cotton has a soft hand and a slightly worn glow.

About 83 inches long and 51 wide. A warm wall hanging, or a very good throw.
