Shawl consisting of a rectangular piece of hand-woven cotton-silk blend. Off-white cloth with bright orange cotton embroidery thread used in brocade and straight stitch. Diamond motif brocade bands symmetrically flanked by straight stitch embroidery. Three rows of five orange diamonds placed in central area. Orange weft threads loosely carried along edging and tucked into the body of the shawl.
Shawl worn above the waist by women. Apa Tani women's clothing was traditionally woven by hand, either by the wearer herself, or for exchange with a Dafla vendor for raw cotton. Often, an Apa Tani woman resides in the home of a Dalfa trader during the time the garment is being woven. Weaving among the Apa Tani is associated with many taboos.
