520 3    |a The tapestry, A Stitch in Time, designed by U Chan Aye, was produced in Mandalay in 1995 for a planned exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The scenes depict women in various roles: at the top a figure offers flowers to the Buddha, with further frames recalling marital fidelity and bliss in the kinnari and kinnara, a royal couple and child with wet-nurse, a woman spinning, and six poses copied from Apyo-daw taya or ‘One hundred royal maidens’, a nineteenth century manuscript. This type of tapestry, known as shwe-chi-hto (gold-thread embroidery) is sometimes called a kalaga. These, however, were larger pieces, such as a curtain to go across a room in the palace or monastery, or a cover to drape over the coffin of a revered monk. (Text by John T. Carpenter and Yoshiko Yasumura, from the exhibition catalogue: Objects of instruction : treasures of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Anna Contadini, Editor. London : SOAS, University of London, 2007.)
