Salt And Pepper Cushion, Long Red

This long cushion is made from a vintage Zhuang Nung wedding blanket. The blanket is hand loomed in thick cotton and has an iconic design from the Nung ethnic group within the Zhuang minority. It is known as salt and pepper. I absolutely love it and have bought several blankets in different colours. The colours on this blanket are watermelon red, black, pale indigo and yellow ochre. It's quite a soft palette of natural colours, but because I have used the reverse of the blanket for the right side, they are still nice and bright. I've backed the cushion with a vintage handloomed cotton textile in blue and red pinstripes which works rather well with the colours of the front. There is a zip fastener and feather pad.
