Tapestry with bird

Tapestry with bird
A stunningly beautiful, old indigo dyed tapestry with a round bird symbol in the middle. This is one of the oldest pieces of our collection: it was estimated to be older than 170 years. Three round marks are family crests called kamon, usually they are much simpler and not as elaborate as this symbol. Notice how three different color shades are used. It is meant to be hung on wooden stick a shown in the picture.
