This hand-colored postcard, dated circa 1908, showcases a Sinhalese lace maker in her element, skillfully creating intricate designs using traditional methods in Sri Lanka. The Sinhalese, also known as Sinhala, Sinhala Jathiya, Hela, or Sinhale, are an Indo-Aryan ethnic group native to the island nation. Their rich cultural heritage is reflected in the beautiful textiles they produce, including exquisite lacemaking. The lace maker is intently focused on her craft, her nimble fingers deftly maneuvering multiple bobbins, each adorned with delicate threads. The bobbins, a crucial tool in Sinhalese lacemaking, are expertly manipulated to create the intricate patterns that define this traditional art form. The Sinhalese people have a deep connection to their textile traditions, with lacemaking being an essential part of their craftswomen's repertoire. This trade, passed down through generations, has played a significant role in the local industry and economy.
