Silk Painting from the Yao Tribe in Gilded Bamboo Frame – Laos, Late 19th Century - AND113

Atmospheric painting executed on silk, originating from Laos and associated with the Yao tribe, dating to the late 19th century.

The Yao people trace their origins to China and later migrated to regions along the border between Laos and Thailand. Their artistic traditions often reflect both cultural identity and spiritual narratives, giving such works a distinct depth.

The painting is executed on silk, providing a refined and delicate surface, and is presented behind glass in a gilded bamboo frame that complements its origin and craftsmanship.

Measuring 120 x 55 cm, the piece has a strong vertical format, making it well suited as a central decorative element.

A rare and culturally rooted artwork – particularly appealing to collectors of ethnographic and Southeast Asian art.
