Spectacular geometric and abstract motifs. They form an alphabet through which declarations of belonging, of faith and messages of goodwill and hope are expressed.
Wool with cotton supplementary patterns, tie-dyed at ends.
The piece is dyed after weaving and the cotton resists the indigo. There are two small holes in the border area, one roughly darned in the white striped area of the detail image below. Fringes edges have some rough spots.
These textiles are very important to the family and so rarely available commercially.
