Cotton wall hanging, 'Fertile Earth'
100% cotton Hanging accessories included Hand wash only Use mild detergent only Dry completely The ancestral mystique of the earth itself is manifest in this dramatic wall hanging. Designed by Suneeporn Tanjaipetch, the lovely textile is woven by hand in 100% cotton by Yao artisans. The traditional floral motif is highlighted in colors from herbal dyes and stitched to the wall hanging. Named din phukao, meaning "earth soil," the design adds contemporary beauty to any interior. The Yao is an ancient culture, whose ancestors inhabited the Hunan Province of China some 2,000 years ago. Their life styles are so unique that the various communities are quite different from one another, but their villages are commonly found in dense forests teeming with wild animals and rich in natural resources, allowing them to develop a diversified economy. Expert weavers, dyers and embroiderers, they wove special fabrics made from tree bark and dyed them with grass seeds and later became expert at beeswax and indigo-dyeing cloth during the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-220 A.D.); today, their magnificent cross-stitch embroidery richly decorates the clothing of every member of the family. NOTE: As each item is a unique expression of the artisan's creativity, the products you receive will feature a very similar color and pattern but may not be exactly identical to the one in the photograph. Bamboo rod for hanging included.
