<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 4390942, member: 8267&quot;]Definitely handmade. It seems to be a widespread craft (although I had not encountered it before), so it may be difficult to narrow down the origin of your examples. As you note, it is done on a hexagonal form of &quot;pin loom&quot;. Square forms&nbsp; became popular in the 1930s - <a href="https://woolery.com/blog/guest-post-pin-loom-weaving-with-meg-stump/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://woolery.com/blog/guest-post-pin-loom-weaving-with-meg-stump/" rel="nofollow">https://woolery.com/blog/guest-post-pin-loom-weaving-with-meg-stump/</a> - for making small pieces of fabric woven with simple tabby weave (one warp, one weft, over-under).</p><p><br /></p><p>I have not been able to find another example with the elaborate wrapping in the center of the stars on yours. This technique is similar to the method used on &quot;God&#039;s Eye&quot; pieces, with 4 or 6 arms. My feeling is yours may be Chinese, or possibly from India, but I might be wrong. The fiber looks like rayon, or a similar synthetic. I doubt it is silk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
