Meng Pillow One - Charcoal Resist Dye rya-rug Our Katsura piecework pillows areOur Meng Pillow tells a story of the butterfly. At first, one might just see flowers, with prominent floral and vase motifs. But upon further looking, the handloomed cotton with its resist paste technique shows stems that end in a swirl, reminiscent of linework seen in Dong's depiction of butterfly anteana. And further, there is a motif that might be a dragon, but I suggest a stylized butterfly coming out of its cocoon. Mid 20th century. Guizhou. 17 x
