| Description |
Gauze weave was used to pattern this lovely, subtle tunic with interlocking, double-headed serpents that may have had mythical or supernatural significance. By manipulating the density of the fabric to create the design, the weaver may have sidestepped a limitation of the material from which the tunic is made—cotton, which does not readily take dyes. |
