2152 Double Ikat Green & Red Cotton Handwoven Shawl

Striking cotton hand woven double-ikat shawl from Andhra Pradesh

Smart color combination - bottle-green and red with white. 

The bottle-green is an unusual feature in this group of textiles. 

Double ikat is not easy and therefore not common as the work is tedious and demands more time and raises the price of the Ikat. However it has a small fan following in the urban women executives in India and is seeing a revival.

This pattern is often seen in Telia Rumals.

Handwoven. Fine Light Cotton.

Recently made. 

Good condition. Unfinished ends.
