| 19th century hand woven towel or scarf probably Greek or Bosnian. This piece measures 17 by 64 inches with 1 inch long fringe at the ends, the sheer fabric feels like a silk and cotton blend with vegetal dyed cotton decorative threads woven into the fabric at each end, intriguing geometric patterns. The colors are off in my pictures as the colors are no where near that bright, the reds are actually a faded burgundy with gold and pink. As the pictures clearly show, there are areas in the sheer fabric that are damaged, the ends however are in remarkably good condition probably due to the extra thickness of the designs woven into the fabric, the fringe is also in good condition. I have not washed this piece as I know most collectors would prefer this as is. |
