Tai Daeng “Life in Laos” Silk Wall Hanging

This vibrant storytelling piece is our most popular wall hanging in Luang Prabang. These extraordinary textiles are handwoven by master Tai Daeng silk weavers in Houaphan Province and they tell the story of life in Laos. Woven motifs represent Buddha, alms giving, weaving, spinning cotton, boat racing, playing the “khaen” mouth organ, and many other significant life moments. Another unique detail of this piece is the papery white tops of the tassels are actually made of silkworm cocoons!

You can spend hours admiring this piece and delight in discovering new motifs every time. Each textile is unique in thread colour combinations — no two are the same.
