This special wrap was worn outside, or on top of, the long dance dresses for added decoration and prestige. Made from raffia.
There are 8 holes in this panel, the worst are shown in the detail. Some of the raffia tufted balls on the left brder are missing.
CARE: The cloth is not fragile and can be pinned onto a wall or panel for display. To eliminate wrinkles, the cloth can be misted with water, and then gently ironed on the back.
