Description

Large rectangular weaving sample made with warp and weft yarns of the same material. The fabric seams to have been dyed after weaving, possible using a tie dye method, to create a pattern of pink circles on a background of dark red. Some of the dye has faded unevenly. The weave structure is 1/1 plain weave, and some of the warp yarns are twisted around each other.
