Item:141850865979VINTAGE COLLECTIBLE BURMESE KALAGA WALL HANGING 165 x 135 cm. Kalaga (Burmese) is a heavily embroidered applique tapestry made of silk, velvet, sequins, beads, cabochons, twine, padded (often more than an inch above fabric) figures of people and animals. Lining is of cotton used primarily to protect the back and tacking threads. This art form emerged during the Konbaung Dynasty in the mid- 1800's and reached its zenith during the reign of Mindon Min when velvet became fashionable.
In a typical tapestry the padded figures are cut from various types of cloth (this one is from a white cotton) and sewn onto a background of black cotton to form an elaborate scene traditionally called Jataka. The figures and surroundings are then sewn using a combination of metallic and plain threads, and adorned with sequins, beads, glass, and stone.
Note: some stones are missing Additional photos of all figures are available upon request.
