Set your decor apart from the crown with Worldstock's Chinese Handmade Red Leaf Lady Tapestry.
This Batik tapestry is hand-painted using the ancient 'La Ran' technique. Known contemporarily as the 'wax dye' technique, this ancient art form hails from the southwestern regions of China. It involves applying wax on fabric to prevent certain areas from absorbing the dye. As the process is repeated, an intricate pattern begins to emerge.
The Red Leaf Lady tapestry features a young girl wearing traditional dress. The piece is double-backed for additional strength and stability and features a loop on top for the insertion of a hanging rod.
The Story Behind the Art
These beautiful tapestries are one of the traditional art pieces created by the Chinese minority known as Miao people who live in the Southwestern part of China. In this region of China there are many high mountains and historically it has been isolated, hence the Miao people have developed their own unique art and culture separate from the Chinese majority known as Han. Wax-dyed tapestry is one of the well known crafts to come from this. The patterns and methodology used in creating these tapestries has been passed down from generation to generation. Each artist adds their own unique touch to these patterns, making every tapestry different. Selling through WorldStock allows the Miao people to keep this ancient art form alive.

I bought this tapestry for my best friend for Christmas, and I can't wait to give it to her!! It's absolutely beautiful and I know she's gonna love it. The colors are vibrant & bold and true to the image colors. It definitely has an individual and authentic look, but without seeming amateur or carelessly done. The fabric that it was painted it will lay nicely on the wall. I'm resisting buying one for myself now!
I was very pleased with the design of the the leaf lady tapestry, however the paint seemed like it wasnt totally dried before shipping. It needs some touching up, but still a very elegant decoration. Tapestry hanger not included.
I loved this item on the website, but when I received it I was a bit disappointed. The paint job is sloppy and there are blue marks on the light parts of the tapestry (like her body and yellow top) which are unattractive and distracting. I still like this tapestry, but would have been MUCH happier had it arrived looking more like what is advertised.
Ordered this a couple years ago and decided to write a review since I still have it hanging in my condo. Blends in nicely on almost red colored walls....nice detail and bright colors. I want to give this a 4.5 since it did not come with tapestry rod. Even still, it gets lots of compliments from visitors. Still pleased - even 3 years later.
