Isthmus of Kra COLLECTIONS
This collection is named for the Isthmus of Kra, the narrow strip of land connecting the Malay Peninsula to mainland Asia. The Andaman Sea lies to its west, and the Gulf of Thailand to the east.
Isthmus showcases the fusion of cultures in the Southeast Asian region. The embellishment of each item features floral motifs commonly found in traditional Southeast Asian woodcarving.
From as early as the 4th century BC, Hellenistic influence made its way from the Mediterranean coast along the fabled Silk Road into the Indus Valley, and from there as far as Southeast Asia. Evidence of this can be seen in the startlingly similar scrolled leaf motif that occurs in the art of classical Mediterranean, Central Asian, Indian and Southeast Asian cultures.
