Fine one panelled shawl woven on a foot loom. The shawl is decorated with blue and white tie dye or Ikat technique, which is combined with magenta, green and purple silk thick stripes. Silk is an expensive material to work with and is mostly used to weave ceremonial or special garments. The blue  ikat colour is indigo, a natural dye and is representing dolls, flower vases and corn plant designs. A finely macramé work decorates both ends of the piece. Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping!
