DescriptionUnfinished scarf embroidered on an even-weave, natural-colored cotton. The symmetric geometric patterns are outlined in black and consist of isosceles triangles whose bases lie at the scarf's edges and peaks toward the center. Only one of the traingle shapes has been mostly filled in with oblique stitches, in two shades of red.
