DescriptionThe main body of the scarf is white cotton, edged in red button hole stitches. Between the traingular designs, in two shades of red, are alternating embroidered designs---two red and one black. On the ends are sewn, warp-woven pieces with rhomboid patterns in dark blue, green, and gold metallic thread. The edges of these two ends are beaded in black, red, and white beads, above which are affixed metal rectangles. One end of the scarf has gold metallic tape. The red fringe is decorated with the same metal and clear beads.
