content: Lightweight handwoven cloth. Large sections, including most of one of the borders/selvages, is cut away, leaving an oddly-shaped remnant. Light brown, with wide border of solid purple along the sides. Weft is light brown, ikat dyed purple in the border, and fading into the light brown center. Warp is light brown, with a border of solid purple and a band of purple, white, and pink warp ikat along the sides.

content: It is unknown exactly where this item was made or collected, but Bron Solyom's notes (see accession file, page 13) suggest that perhaps it was purchased when Dunham was in Pakistan in 1986 and 1987. Solyom described this as "space dyed" but perhaps this is better described as weft and warp ikat, as the placement of the colors (in both directions) is more deliberate than the term "space-dyed" would imply.
