Name: Fine Woman/Man/Woman Shoulder Cloth
Item#: 14104
This is a very finely woven textile in a stunning salmon and grey with brighter primary ends. The center section that is predominantly one color of pattern is the men's section of the scarf, and the multicolored ends are the women's section. The patterns are the same, but the coloration is more complex in the woman's section. On the man's section, the center diamond can represent a lantern to light the way to the spirit world when a shaman is using the cloth in a ceremony. The motifs through the scarf are pregnant curled tailed naga (mythological river serpents) with diamonds of flowers and naga. Just lovely. Comes with a photo of the natural dyer and designer, Phout, with the textile.
