- Long description
- Man's shawl. The shawl is made of four strips of warp faced weave acrylic textile sewn together along the sides. The two inner strips are approximately each 275 mm wide and are both plain black in colour. The two outer strips are black each with two green and two red stripes 10 mm wide and a red stripe 60 mm and 67 mm wide. The selvages are black. At one end the cloth has been stitched over in red and green yarn. At the opposite end the warp threads have been twisted and tied in bunches with white yarn, forming a fringe. At the base of the fringe are rows of green and red stitching. Above these rows is a section (with a maximum depth of 60 mm) of supplementary weft designs in white yarn. The supplementary weft designs are geometric and run for the whole width of the two central black strips and for the width of the striped outer strips apart from in the stripes. [MdeA 25/07/2008]
