Thinly woven Artwork Textile Tapestry held together on a canvas sheet that can be removed from the artwork. A beautiful woven head-cloth made with panels of gauze weave joined with ornitomorphic figures . It has a very intricate and odd design that makes this particular piece very unique. The added embroidered outlines follow around the figures; cotton warp and weft threads, highly over-twisted. Very good condition. Woven with one of the emblematic ¨Openwork Technique¨ ultimately derived from the ancient coastal fishing tradition of net making, which reached new heights of laced intricacy. Used for protection to avoid evil spirits. Executed in a virtuoso manner. The weaver could see the motifs during their creation because the threads pulled together where not under the tension of the loom. Hence, when the weaver removed the finished textile from the loom, its designs became clearly visible.
