DescriptionThis wool apron in woven rhombordal pattern in burgundy, white with green, red, navy, and dark yellow accents has very long fringe in burgundy, green, and blue at hem and sides. It seems to have later addition at hem and lower sides of a goldish commercial braid, red and green ric rac and superimposed 7 cm fringe (man-made thread) in alternating green, rose, orange and cobalt blue. The ties are braided wool in the colors of the wool fringe. Tufts of fiber decorate the top.
