The value of this bündri multifunctional mantle/blanket is the old fabric made of Himalayan nettle (Girardinia diversifolia), can possibly be used, but also for research purposes. Therefore, we are giving away the object, for a payment of only the shipping cost.
 
To get a sense of what the pattern once looked like, we have included a photograph from the book "From the Land of the Thunder Dragon: Textile Arts of Bhutan"
 
The nettles have been traditionally collected in the Himalayan Mountains and manually processed and hand-spun into yarn, and woven into a fine and strong fabric (10 x 7 th/cm). The now worn weave pattern is made of dyed wool yarn, and the weaving technique is called trima a sophisticated technique resembling embrodery, characteristic of the region. Three narrow cloth strips about 40 centimeter wide have been hand-sewn together to form a larger piece, then provided with two braided ropes in opposite corners so that they can be tied together and used to carry things on either a person's back or on a horse.
