Hand Loomed and Embroidered Traditional Tent Bands: C20th Anatolia wall hanging where a linen cord isA double hand loomed tent band from Anatolia, dating from the early 20th century. These panels were woven in naturally dyed, hand spun wools on a narrow loom before being joined together. Here we have a band made with two panels one in a tomato red with another in peat brown. They have subsequently had hand embroidered decoration applied. At 3 meters long theres enough here to edge curtains, make cushions or use for an upholstery project.
