Description: Textile panel of woven silk and metallic threads in K'o-ssu tapestry weave with a warrior riding on a horse with a spear and another figure with his arms raised appearing to cheer him on; mountain landscape; flower at the top; colors of medium blue, green, peach, and grey; panel is trimmed with a band of black cotton. The word Kesi translates to "cut silk" as the separate areas of color are woven into the warp with separate bobbins of thread. This hand-weaving technique requires a great deal of precision and patience. The final piece is lightweight and if done with skill has the same finish on both sides. Most of these Kesi Tapestries are of pictorial scenes, some are copies of paintings, which are first brush sketched onto the warp threads then woven.
