This is a protective silk textile full of charts, incantations, protective creatures and spirits on the front, back and sleeves. This shirt (called a “tabard”) may be worn or simply kept as a form of protection. Icons include a wild hog that rests on a table along the bottom. The wild hog is admired for the strength of its skin and implies the ability to be impervious to bullets and knives. Also along the bottom is a magic tiger, respected and admired for fierceness. It is believed that the traits of certain animals and creatures can be transferred. On the reverse is an image of Buddha along with charts. We also find the image of Buddha and at each end of the sleeve, guardian spirits. As this is on silk, it is a mid 20th Century item. While there is some discoloration and darkening in places, all images are clear and intact and the condition is good. Mid 20th century, Burma.
