Kesi is a technique in Chinese silk tapestry. It is admired for its lightness and clarity of pattern. “Kesi” means “cut silk”, as the technique uses short lengths of weft thread that are tucked into the textile. Only the weft threads are visible in the finished fabric. Unlike continuous weft brocade, in k’o-ssu each color area was woven from a separate bobbin, making the style both technically demanding and time-consuming.
Overall Size: 21 3/4 x 13 3/4 in.
