KUBA CAMELHAIR
3' 10" x 5' 6" (117 x 168cm) 3rd Qtr., 19th C.
(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery").Seichur Kubas are highly sought after for the scintillating clarity of their ultra-fine weaving style. Here, in a dramatic overall composition, a series of mammoth-sized grand palmettes ascend the field, offering a mesmerizing display of engagingly graphic drawing. The energetic contrast of color juxtapositions, such as the blues with the reds and the jade with the coral-orange, is alluring and will be relished time and again by an aficionado of precious handwoven art. The motifs surrounding the central palmettes are rendered in a surprisingly animistic style, furthering the amorphous nature of these floral abstractions and the freedom of interpretation. The shift from ultramarine blue to lapis hues in the background adds a magical quality, while the proportions of the petite main border of abstract four-flower bouquets further amplify the magnificence of the compelling central arrangement. Extreme color shifts in some of the secondary motifs are tantalizing in their boldness. Endearing tribal talismans, such as the 'Star of Wisdom', 'Seed of Life', and even the 'Wheel of Life', fill the background, conveying the wonderment that was undoubtedly felt by its weaver while creating this deeply compelling work of folk art.
