  • Full Description

    never seen a Filipino textile of this age and quality. Dyes are vegetal but unusual. Would be interesting to perform analysis to determine plant origin(s). Though I don't know, I somehow doubt that there are tulips in the Philippines. Was the design imported with Islam? Puzzling.
