The larger Kalagas have always related a story about famous folklore heroes, minor and major deities or royal life in the old Southeast Asia.  Included in this ornate tapestry are royal figures, a palace, sacred and a white elephant with a princess riding it. Note the beautiful jewel tone colors in the figures and surrounding needle work is all done by hand in the traditional style.  The elaborate design uses decorative threads and silver/bronze sequins  found only on finest quality Kalagas.  Note: This Kalaga comes complete with a silk border and is ready to hang.  If you do purchase a large Kalaga without a border and loops for hanging, the cost of adding the border and loops will double or triple your cost.  Be careful!    This is a special work of art that you will treasure for many years to come. The approximate size is 40" high by 56" wide. Finished with Thai silk, the Kalaga has loops at the top for hanging. There is space for an additional rod to be used at the bottom.    F   Payment Terms, Shipping Charges, & Refund Policy    E   Domestic Payment Terms:  Paypal, money order, or personal check .
