19th Century Kalaga Tapestry with Stones, Sequins and Pink Thread

This 19th-century Burmese Kalaga tapestry is a richly detailed textile crafted using traditional techniques of embroidery and appliqué on a velvet base. Stones, sequins, and pink thread accentuate scenes drawn from Burmese mythology, stitched with gold and silver threads to form layered, ornate compositions. The combination of silk, felt, flannel, wool, and lace gives the tapestry both visual depth and tactile variety. Heavily embroidered and marked by time, the piece retains a gentle shimmer and strong cultural presence. Originally created for ceremonial or decorative use, it now serves as a striking wall display in living rooms, studies, or curated collections. Its materials and craftsmanship reflect the heritage of Burmese artisans, making it a compelling addition for those drawn to textile history and Southeast Asian design.
