This finely crafted rebozo features a tightly woven cotton textile dyed using the ikat technique, where the warp threads are tie-dyed before weaving to create the characteristic blurred stripe patterns. The color palette is a harmonious blend of neutral tones—primarily shades of black, gray, and cream—arranged in symmetrical horizontal bands. The textile ends in elaborately hand-knotted black macramé fringe, extending several inches beyond the woven field. The patterning across the main body displays the precision and regularity characteristic of Tenancingo ikat, with fine vertical striping giving the textile a subtle, elegant texture.Made/Created
