The naturally variegated grey wool ground displays subtle tonal shifts and striations from the handspun fibres, giving the textile wonderful depth and texture. Horizontal bands of warm rust red bordered by fine ivory lines cross the upper and lower sections. In contrast, the small diamond-shaped motifs in ivory, rust, and ochre provide delicate geometric accents. The visible panel construction, decorative central join, and small tasselled ends emphasise its traditional handwoven character. With its restrained earthy palette, minimalist geometry, and beautifully organic surface, this Khasa blanket is a distinctive example of West African textile craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthentic antique and vintage \u003cstrong\u003eAfrican textiles \u003c\/strong\u003eare hand-woven with wool.
