Vintage Miao cotton tribal textile wedding blanket handwoven indigo blue AM67

Description

Vintage Miao cotton tribal textile wedding blanket handwoven indigo blue white cotton swastika wall hanging tapestry China hill tribe AM67
The blanket is constructed from 3 panels sewn together; each panel was hand woven on a back-strap loom which accounts for the narrow gauge of each of the 3 panels (the loom width is restricted by the width of the weavers back). The cotton base was then hand embroidered with dark indigo blue in geometric swastikas and sun symbols in cotton thread. The alternating stars have embroidered fuchsia accents in silk.
The most prominent symbol on the piece is the repeating swastika, an ancient symbol for prosperity and good fortune, life, the sun, fire, etc... The symbol is over 10,000 years old and is common in Buddhism and Hinduism, among many other religions. It is a controversial symbol and that is something to be considered if purchasing this textile.
I do not purchase textiles with swastika designs because they represent Nazism; I condemn it. I purchase them knowing the positivity they represent for the makers of these textiles and I hope that we can augment and celebrate this positivity while at the same time diluting the negative. Of course, it is a pretty design, too.
If you are interested in purchasing this item as Nazi decoration...don't do it.
