Art Woven with Thai Wisdom
Art Woven with Thai Wisdom
Roller made from terra cotta unearthed at Ban Chiang indicates the printing (or rolling) of patterns on fabrics in solid colors. Certain archeological fragments discovered support the idea that early fabric designs may have been similar to those on pottery, such as spiral, saw tooth, coiled rope, or wave designs. After human communities had developed and become more complex, certain patterns for example, naga, serpent, hemsa, or peacock designs must have been invented to signify group identities. Since the Sukhothai Period, the Golden Age of art, Thai artisans had invented many new designs from the surrounding natural objects and from sone mythical characters after their imagination, as reflected in unearthed pottery fragments. There were three methods to imprint these designs on to the fabrics: by embroidering, weaving, and painting. However, certain designs were reserved for nobility or dignitaries. Therefore, fabric designs were not simply artistic expressions but they also denoted subtie stratification in the fabric of Thai society.
