Asian Textile History

I have sold this Kesa to Ms. Mary McFadden,

Was display in Boston at Massachusetts College of Art

Mary McFadden: Goddesses was organized by The Galleries at Moore College of Art and Design

Monks' apparel (kāṣāya). The monks normally used fabrics consisting of a patchwork of different scraps of cloth as a sign of humility; these therefore provide valuable insights into the various type of silk cloth and embroidery available at the time
