A stunning example of Burmese Kalaga, a traditional form of embroidered tapestry. This piece is crafted on a heavy black velvet ground and features the signature gold thread technique, where metallic threads, sequins, and glass beads are meticulously applied to create a glittering surface. The composition is classic narrative art: the lower register depicts two royal figures riding majestic elephants, while the upper arches house celestial beings in prayer or dance. The figures are padded with cotton (relief quilting) to stand out three-dimensionally from the background, bringing the mythological scene to life.
This framed tapestry is a textural masterpiece that replaces the need for traditional flat paintings. At 51 inches wide, it is perfectly scaled to hang above a sofa or a wide sideboard, instantly injecting a room with "Global Luxe" sophistication. The metallic gold and silver threads catch the light beautifully, making it an excellent choice for a dimly lit dining room.
