Hi I picked this up at a thrift store but I have no idea what it is - I would like to know what the 'weaving' depicts, and if this is a known thai art form. I searched google for thai silk weaving but couldn't find anything like this. I think the pattern may be painted instead of weaved, but I don't know how to tell, since it's behind glass.

Sorry for the poor image quality, I am going to try to take a better photo tomorrow.

With no picture can only guess might be type of "ikat." Especially the Lao peoples were and are very talented designers, dyers and weavers. Internet search for Lao ikat might produce result similar to your piece.

Good luck,
Cal
