Tibetan Embroidered Silk Altar Cover (6 ' 10" long) c. 1910

Description: I purchased this remarkable almost 7 foot long embroidered silk Tibetan Altar cover from a shop called Mullick's in Darjeeling (India) in 1973. We bought it for a show of Tibetan artifacts we were doing at a venue here in Seattle called "The Friends of the Crafts". This very unusual piece features multicolored floral embroidery on a pink silk background with a celadon colored silk pleated fringe. The embroidery features a host of multicolored flowers and vines. At the point where the fringe is attached to the main panel, there is an attached possibly handwoven band featuring gold metallic threads and pink flowers. This band has some deterioration The Peking Knot is used in several places in the embroidery on the piece and there is the remains of a paper label on one corner on the reverse (see photo) that appears to be in Chinese. This altar cover is backed with either Indian or Chinese printed cotton. As can be seen in our photos, this piece has butter stains, one small hole in the pink background and a few holes in the machine woven cotton backing. I think there is a strong possibility that this piece was either created either as a whole or in parts in China for the Tibetan market. It is 6' 10" long x 1' 8" wide.
