Description
The Mandala motif is a uniquely Tang dynasty motif which found its way to Japan through the silk road and with the spread of Buddhism. The peonies further adds tot he entire feel of medieval Tang China in the 7th to 10th century with its full petals echoing the period’s love for full-bodiedwomen. The vibrant colours and bold use of gold spanning across the entire surface is very emblematic of the opulence of Tang. We particularly love how the shape of the clutch mirrors the mandala shape and the subtle lozenge motifs in the base fabric.
