Mythological Ramayana Dancing Scene with Figures & Parrots Large Tapestry

A magnificent very finely completely hand made Kalaga tapestry set in a custom
gilded frame (framed by previous owner in Design Framing Gallery, Oakland, CA).
This large Kalaga Burmese high relief padded and textured tapestry features
heavily embroidered appliqués and intricate Burmese threading ~ central
medallion depicting elaborate mythological scene from the epic Ramayana or
Jataka saga with two dancing figures, surrounded with four parrots on a heavily
completely embroidered background, using a combination of brocade metallic and
plain threads and adorned with the rich intricate couching thread work shimmers
with hundreds of tiny sequins, metal & glass beads, and glass 'stones'.
Each detail in this tapestry is elaborately designed and stuffed for a
three-dimensional effect.
The entire piece is sparkling and looking very rich and extremely impressive!
These masterpieces take months of hand-stitched embroidering to complete.
