Description
A finger woven sash, warp-face, in brown, red/dark orange, beige and dull gold, with very long fringes and a pattern of elongated diamonds. The outer gold lines in the pattern have a very subtle stripe (perpendicular to the length of the sash) consisting of rows of gold and beige. This pattern is more defined and ‘neater’ on one side (left/right) than the other.
The border consists of an outermost row of spaced white beads with the perforation running parallel to the sash, a strip of woven brown wool, a continuous row of white beads perpendicular to the length of the sash – set into the fabric (not on top), then another strip of brown wool. The border has been stitched onto the central panel with thread in one shade lighter brown.
The fringes consist of between two and four threads braided for under a centimetre and then knotted. Some of the strands are twisted together until near the ends of the fringe.
