Vintage African, Mossi Indigo Dyed Scarf,Shawl/27”x58"+Fringe

Description

Beautiful, vintage African, Mossi, Burkina Faso indigo dyed scarf/shawl with long, braided/twisted fringe; 7 hand woven 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 loved, saved and worn by their owners and family members for many years. Over time, wash
ing, and
use causes fading to various lighter shades of blue, showing more and more of the line/square patterns. I will be listing different scarves that reflect different ages and colors, but this particular one has a wonderful pattern to it!
27” x 58”; Excellent condition: work has been washed; no major damage to the indigo itself; some small areas on the fringe has come undone.
This is the first group of smaller indigo scarves that I have received in all the time I have been buying indigo textiles. A perfect size for easy wearing!
