This ornate kesi tapestry, measuring 16 1/4 inches by 30 1/4 inches, showcases the intricate art form of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The two panels depict figures riding mythical creatures through clouds in muted tones, with a textured background adding depth and dimension. Made with a technically demanding and time-consuming weaving process, this reversible tapestry is encased in a complementary wooden frame and is perfect for sophisticated decor. Recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009, kesi textiles were used for various purposes, including clothing and furnishing fabrics.
