Gala village is a remote Tibetan community in the mountains on the border of the Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province and the Deqin Tibetan area in Yunnan Province, China. This throw is spun from goat wool, and woven in thick strips which are sewn together and finished off with a colorful woven edging. In this area of Tibet, white goat wool is more rare than black yak hair, and house guests always have a white blanket laid over their bed as a token of their hosts’ compliments.
