Shawl (Ecuador), 20th century

Shawl patterned in an ikat design of a bird motif arranged in rows offset in alternating rows. The undyed warps at each end are knotted to produce an open fabric with a pattern of flowering plants in a pot with a bird perched on top, single birds and flowers – about 17 inches. Ivory cotton fringe about 5 inches long attached to the knotted sections at each end.
