Thanks dear xcs and I’d love to compare! I assumed they were the same colorway? The border is a deep gold almost mustard color. The interior yellow a beautiful jaune amber. I will take a photo closer up in natural dayloght. The children’s clothing are clear pops of teal and coral which i adore. I had no idea there was a special edition of this design! Description from Heritage Auctions with better photo of coloration...Congrats mucho mucho, lanit!

“This particular scarf was designed by artist Dimitri Rybaltchenko to represent the Tang Dynasty, and it marked the significance of the Hermes boutique opening at The Lee Gardens. The proceeds from the scarves went to the French-Asian Art Society. This is a great opportunity to own a very special Hermes collectible.”
Thanks so much dear PT. This one would look amazing on you too. Just sayin...
Don't I know it, right up my street (or cloud) ha ha
Huge congrats lanit for finding a grail. You have added som amazing pieces to you collection lately
Thank you @ElainePG , @beekmanhill , @Karenska , @Serva1 and the sweet compliments for my treasure hunt silk. I actually was quite pleased with this purchase this time. The seller is frequently known to mishandle h silks ( my own included) and save for a pin through the hem with their darn tag and created a tiny run and a few light stains that were hardly noticeable it was a nice to know they were trying to improve their packaging and service. It even came in a nice sleeve envelope instead of an orange box, which protected the scarf from wrinkles and mishaps.
To me that is a Grail, HTF, rare, special story, great design and colorway - - it has it all
To rant a tiny bit, I think the term GRAIL is abused, yes, any cw of SAMOURAIS is TDF, but not a grail because those are not HTF
As far as I know, it if from ceramic figurines at the Musee Guimet - Cambodian - I have half a Paris Match article on an unrelated museum exhibit, so, the French text makes little sense but the illustration of the museum figures is spot on
MT thank you for this information! So great to know the source of the illustration, would you kindly share a photo or two of the article you are referring to? Wonderful to find these tidbits about the scarf designs !
Not one of my best moments. It is an article from POINT DE VUE - interview of Olivier Bernon a Cambodian scholar - I managed to keep one page only, sorry no date, the French text is about his work in Cambodia
There is no legend for the photo, but the ceramics are spot on , one assumes they are Cambodian ?
