Vintage Thai Silk Ikat best Sarong, Handwoven

Silk sarong from Isan, eastern Thailand. Handwoven ikat by highland Kmer women, a garment worn daily until about 40 years ago. Practically indestructible, as it was worn in the fields, cooking, etc. Washed many times, so it is soft and sturdy.

The base color is burgundy, with emerald green, gold and light gray. Tightly woven and medium weight, a bit shiny. Completely reversible. There may be a slight smell of perfume or moth balls, which can be eliminated by washing.

It can be used for the fabric to best make beautiful pillows, a wall hanging, table runner, or clothing.
