The Story
Behind This Piece
Dumbara weaving comes from the Hunnasgiriya hills near Kandy, where families have woven dense, geometric cloth on simple wooden looms for generations. Each diamond and stepped border is counted thread by thread, never drawn first. This panel takes roughly three weeks to complete.
