Miao Weining Lavender Pillow

This fabulous big fat lavender pillow is made from fragment of a Miao ceremonial cape from the Weining region of Guizhou Province. The materials are cotton, hemp and a coarse thick wool reflecting the areas cold temperatures. I've backed the pillow with a hand loomed, hand spun, slate black coloured cotton. It's stuffed with Provencal lavender selected for its long lasting scent. 

I think its a lovely gift for a textile fan and sure to be a point of interest on the coffee table.
