This bag is in the James Henry Green Collection, Royal Pavilion, Libraries
& Museums, Brighton. The bag was collected by Green in the 1920s and
is Kachin, Jinghpaw Khahku, northern Kachin State and Hukawng Valley.
It shows the same designs as those on an heirloom bag used by Hkahku weaver
Gwi Kai Nan as her source for the new Museum commissioned bag - see photo
of the two bags. The bag above is shown on page 164 in 'Textiles from
Burma: Featuring the James Henry Green Collection' and edited by Elizabeth
Dell and Sandra Dudley. See information on the James
Green Gallery of World Art including a nice outline on James
Green. A Kachin
textiles link on that page gives further information about the project
referred to above to create new (Kachin) textiles. |
See
discussion on
the origin of this and other similar bags at the bottom of the photogallery
page. |
