Default 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.
