It is rectangular in form and measures 51.5 in. x 96 in. The hand-loomed woolen cloth is produced in rural Bhutan is highly valued around the globe. The textile shown is worn as a "kira" or traditional Bhutanese woman's wrap around dress. It is composed of eleven panels that measure 9½ inches wide and are joined along the selvedges. The alternating weft stripes of golden yellow and off-white are embellished with stamped cruciform shapes in scarlet and dark blue. These cruciform shapes denote elevated social status among many rural groups. The red and blue symbolize duality and the creation of balance in Himalayan textiles, as well as many others, worldwide.
The boldness of design creates a very contemporary feel to this traditional textile. Westerners easily relate to this aesthetic and find it as appealing as the cultures who make it.
