This Kalaga textile panel depicts a mounted warrior raising a curved sword. The horse and rider are built up in raised embroidered and appliquéd forms, with dense gold-tone sequins, beads, and cordwork across the figure, saddle, and surrounding scrolls. Kalaga is a Burmese embroidered textile tradition known for its raised appliqué and lavish surface embellishment. Yellow, green, gray, pink, and orange details enliven the dark ground. An interlocking looped border is punctuated by larger deep pink round stones. The panel is float-mounted in a gold-tone shadowbox frame measuring approximately 25.5" square overall.
