Soft, faded vintage African indigo cotton textile Dogon, Mali M227

Description

Stunning vintage hand woven and dyed indigo cloth from Mali, West Africa with an origami-like design. This piece is usually soft and lightweight compared to most West African textiles, it is ideally suited to be used as a scarf, shawl or throw. The textile is made from 4 1/4" (11cm) wide handwoven strips which are machine sewn together to form one large piece. Traditionally worn as a wrapper, these cloths all unique in shade, size and wear.
The textile is 40" (102cm) wide x 65" (165cm) long with a raw edge. It is in shades of perfectly fade navy indigo. One hole had been patched and there are twp areas of wear on the edge [see photos] and no stains that I can see. This piece is in heavily worn condition given and has been woven from raw, unprocessed cotton. Dogon textiles are especially soft and this piece would make a phenomenal oversized unisex scarf.
I recommend had washing separately in cold water with mild soap. I have more vintage African indigo textiles so please see my store for other colors. Combined shipping available on all textiles.  Please ask any questions prior to purchase. Thank you!
All vintage items are 100% authentic and have been previously worn, often in a traditional environment. Every effort has been made to describe any flaws in both words and pictures in the listings however a certain amount of wear should always be expected. Handmade items should also be expected to contain irregularities which I believe adds to their character and does not detract in any way from their quality.
