Thai Silk Sarong

Folded cloth of tiny diamonds in rust and plum, ending in a deep maroon edge.

This thai silk sarong is from Thailand, and dates to the 20th century. Thailand has a long silk-weaving tradition, with fine fabric woven on hand looms in regions such as the northeast and often patterned with supplementary threads. Long cloth folded into a neat rectangle, covered in repeating small lozenges in orange-gold against dark purple-brown. The pattern has softly blurred edges. A solid maroon border band closes one end. It is 29 inches wide.

Order, repeated several thousand times, with great calm.
