Such textiles played an important role in headhunting ceremonies and hence were among the most tediously decorated woven works. Motif appears to be that of a head as there is a semblance of eyes & mouth. Note the use of green and blue at both ends. Has a repair patch. Lovely color that has faded unevenly. 153
