Chinese Handmade Red Leaf Lady Tapestry (China)
Set your decor apart from the crown with Worldstock's Chinese Handmade Red Leaf Lady Tapestry. This Batik tapestry is hand-painted using the ancient 'La Ran' technique. Known contemporarily as the 'wax dye' technique, this ancient art form hails from the southwestern regions of China. It involves applying wax on fabric to prevent certain areas from absorbing the dye. As the process is repeated, an intricate pattern begins to emerge. The Red Leaf Lady tapestry features a young girl wearing traditional dress. The piece is double-backed for additional strength and stability and features a loop on top for the insertion of a hanging rod. The Story Behind the Art These beautiful tapestries are one of the traditional art pieces created by the Chinese minority known as Miao people who live in the Southwestern part of China. In this region of China there are many high mountains and historically it has been isolated, hence the Miao people have developed their own unique art and culture separate from the Chinese majority known as Han. Wax-dyed tapestry is one of the well known crafts to come from this. The patterns and methodology used in creating these tapestries has been passed down from generation to generation. Each artist adds their own unique touch to these patterns, making every tapestry different. Selling through WorldStock allows the Miao people to keep this ancient art form alive. Each Worldstock product is a unique creation from a far away culture. By shopping with us you are helping perpetuate ancient traditions and providing a source of income for communities in need. The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing. Subtle variations will occur from piece to piece, adding to its unique qualities.
