Description: Beautiful, vintage African, Mossi, Burkina Faso indigo dyed scarf/shawl with long, twisted blue and white fringe; 7 hand woven medium weight cotton strips. Mossi textiles are highly collectible, and loved, due to the tight, fine and soft weavings using variations of blue color threads to create subtle lines/squares. They are saved and worn by their owners and family members for many years. Over time, washing, and use causes fading to various lighter shades of blue, showing more and more of a “plaid" pattern. I will be listing different scarves that reflect different ages and colors, but this particular one has a wonderful deep indigo color to it, at the same time showing a subtle pattern from it’s twist dying! 24"x 54”; Excellent condition: work has been washed and it is color fast; no major damage to the indigo. There is one circle in it, that looks like it could have been a hole sent up, see the 5th photo.A perfect size for easy wearing! *I'm posting this on behalf of my mother in law, who is an African art collector.
