    I grabbed these at a recent estate sale. Wealthy folks with nice things and a cool collection. Wondering if the design is specific to a specific place? There were two identical pieces. Approximately 5’x6’ I think. Yellow, black, and brown. Not sure what their purpose would be? They’d make nice wall hangings but maybe they were made for a particular use? I’d imagine the owners were well travelled so they could have come from just about anywhere. They had a pretty large collection of African art so that may be a logical origin.

    Sorry I can't help, other than to say it's a printed fabric, not a tapestry.
    Interesting!

    Fair point and technically correct of course. I meant it in the loose modern sense. It’s kind of a general term used by many for any fabric wall hanging these days.

    Looks like a pareo. Printed cotton?
