Sherpa women traditionally wore a sleeveless long woollen gown called an aungi. If they were married they also wore striped woollen aprons – one on the front, called a dongtil, and another on the back, called a gyaotil. For festive occasions the corners of the aprons were often decorated with patches of brocade.The dongtil apron (dong means front) was made from three narrow loom lengths of striped, heavyweight woollen fabric, sewn together with blanket stitch at the selvedge. Although the colour combination of the three panels was always the same, the placing of the colours and the width of the stripes varied, so that when the panels were hand-stitched together each panel appeared to be staggered from the others. The arrangements of stripes and colours were not woven to plan, but were placed intuitively by each weaver. Although all of the colours were obtained from vegetable dyes prepared by the weaver herself, no two aprons were ever the same.“pangdens”…the colorful woolen aprons that Tibetan women wore as part of their traditional dress. Even though many of these Tibetans are now in exile in Nepal, India, or other places, many women still wear their aprons, the stripes of which identify their home area and village..
In the traditional old ways of animal husbandry, the wool was considered purer if the animals fed on uncontaminated, clean grass.
The “pangden” striped apron is sewn of three narrow pieces of horizontally striped fabric woven on a “pit loom”. Weaving on a portable loom enabled nomadic Tibetans to carry their unfinished work along with them when they moved their flocks of animals.
The warp is usually woven from wool or cotton, and the weft from wool. The dyes were natural, vegetable dyes, except for a pink chemical dye with which the women liked to brighten their work. The vegetable dyes were grown in the wearer’s home area, which contributed to the unique quality of each apron. You could identify a Tibetan lady’s home village, just by reading the “language” of her apron’s different colored stripes.
