EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Chinese Tibetan Silk tapestry tiger, believed to have originated in the 19th or early 20th century. This exquisite piece is part of a processional banner that holds great cultural significance. What sets this silk tapestry tiger apart is its peculiar form of stripes, suggesting an unfamiliarity with the subject matter. The Chinese people held silk in high regard due to its exceptional strength, durability, fineness, and ability to absorb and reflect vibrant dye colors. It was through these qualities that artisans were able to create such intricate illustrations on cloth. The artistry involved in weaving this tapestry is truly awe-inspiring. Each thread meticulously intertwined by skilled hands tells a story of trade and craftsmanship between China and Tibet. The use of natural fibers derived from silkworms (bombyx mori) adds another layer of appreciation for the delicate beauty captured within this artwork. Photographer Paul D. Stewart has masterfully captured every detail of this magnificent creation, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the visual splendor but also the historical importance it represents. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the rich artistic heritage shared between these two cultures.
