This rare Buddhist felt-wool dedication textile showcases appliqué and embroidery. It's dated 1879 on the back cotton lining and remains in very good condition, with only minor imperfections. Measuring 35 inches by 43 inches (88.9 cm x 109.2 cm), this textile bears two large white onion-shaped motifs representing a 'houyu,' a magical wish-granting jewel in Buddhist beliefs. The 'houyu' symbolizes bestowing blessings on those who suffer, granting wishes, pacifying desires, and bringing a clear understanding of the Dharma (Buddhist law).
