$1,550 Sold
A simple old tribal flat-weave, consisting of two panels woven on a narrow loom, as is typical for many tribal weavings. Tonal variations create subtle color blocks and a sprinkling of motifs in "jijim" brocading add visual interest. It takes a while to appreciate its authentic, honest beauty.
