This expansive and vibrant wool wall-hanging originates from India and dates to the period between 1950 and 1990. Measuring approximately 70 inches by 47 inches (178 cm x 119 cm), the piece is in excellent condition and represents a unique intersection of traditional village craft and mid-century modern design. The textile features complex abstract patterns meticulously rendered in fine chain-stitch embroidery on a wool surface.
The composition is a sophisticated "all-over" design, reminiscent of the modernist art movements of the era, such as those inspired by Gustav Klimt or Hundertwasser. It utilizes a rich, diverse palette of teal, terracotta, mustard yellow, and violet, organized into various graphic zones. Key motifs include large teal spiral "eyes," vertical registers of dotted triangles, and a central, undulating "river" of terracotta lines that creates a strong horizontal movement across the field. The reverse side is backed with thick cotton fabric and includes an official tag identifying it as an artistic export creation produced by villagers under the auspices of the Government of India. The piece is finished at the top with a row of circular metallic hanging loops.
