A reminder of the fleeting, ephemeral quality of life, the dragonfly is a recurring motif in Asian art. Darting about on transparent, gossamer wings, it reminds us to lighten up and see through life's illusions for the day passes quickly. This delicately crafted wall hanging is hand embroidered with shimmering silk threads on silk fabric. Made in Vietnam. 92" l x 12" w
"the dragonfly, too wakes up, goes to work...night river" Kobayashi Issa (1763-1827)
