Thai Silk “Two pieces of Poom
cloth of second quality” |
||
| King Mongkut may have called these pieces “second quality” because of the rather thick grade of silk, which is not as fine as the Khmer silks in the Smithsonian’s Thai collection, and because the tie dyed mudmee weft pattern did not quite match up. However, the rich red, purple, burgundy, green, gold, and blue dyes are certainly very good quality. |
