MONGOLIA - exterior Altai region - ancient KASAKH : Hanging - Lot 489
MONGOLIA - exterior Altai region - ancient KASAKH : Hanging embroidered with 18 polychrome medallions and embroidered borders with gold fillets on a purple background. 107 x 205 cm. Slight wear.
These hangings were used to decorate the interior space and reinforce the protection of the yurts of the Altai eagle families against the cold of the winter season.
They are ancient and differ in quality from current productions made from materials sourced in China.
These hangings are the work of each housewife and are renewed on certain occasions.
Some are dated, while others are deliberately not completely finished, as they were given by the groom's family on the occasion of a wedding. In such cases, it's up to his bride to finish the small unfinished portion.
They are washable, non-fading and can be used to decorate a bedspread, tabletop, sofa or wall.
