A
new (end 20th beginning 21st century) woven fragment of a siho, a mythological
animal half-lion, half-elephant unique to the Lao culture and considered
to be imbued with special powers shown with an ancestor figure riding
on his back between two birds. Woven in cotton, probably chemical dyed
supplementary weft coloured threads. This fragment had been made into
a cushion cover and then exported to Malaysia.
