Vintage African,Baule Indigo Dyed Ikat, Strip Woven Scarf/56”x 22\"  For Sale

Beautiful scarf made from a hard to find vintage indigo ikat dyed textile by the Baule people of the Ivory Coast and Ghana. I have separated a larger 10 strip, tightly handwoven work into a 5 strip beautiful scarf, for easier wearing than the original African skirt/wrappers. The strips in this cotton work are woven in a deep indigo blue and seagreen, with indigo and white edges at the strip edges, and colorful embroidered patterns at theends. The Baule are only one of twopeoples in West Africa that do ikat dyeing of their weaving thread.
20” x 56”; 1” fringe on either end with an embroidered seam across to prevent weaving from opening. Excellent condition.A beautiful way to dress up your jeans outfit or any other type of dress! _gsrx_vers_851 (GS 7.0.17b2 (851))
