Known as Thagzo, Bhutanese hand-weaving includes a variety of techniques and designs. The primary material is raw silk known as "Bura", which has a natural thickness, slight luster and soft texture. After being naturally dyed, the silk is painstakingly hand-woven into small and intricate geometric patterns, symbolizing culture and spirituality, and generally used for traditional attire.

The particular pattern in these pillow covers is known as Kishuthara, a complex, silk-on-silk brocade technique featuring intricate geometric motifs. This pattern is rare because it's labor-intensive, often taking months to complete a single piece of cloth.

The pillows are 18 inches square, with knife edge and hidden zipper.

4 available.

The pillow price includes a brand new poly-dacron insert, shipped along with the pillow cover(s). If interested in silk covers only, please inquire. See less
