<p>[QUOTE="Not Sure What This Is, post: 4311547, member: 19814"]Hi,</p><p>This serape is different from most of the more recently made examples that I've seen in that rather than solid stripe after solid stripe with the "eye of God" in the centre usually seen, this serape is woven with patterning within wider horizontal stripes, the patterned stripes separated by the dark brown solid background colour. It's edged with brown and white roping, the type that I've often seen on dressing gowns of the 1940s and 50s. But, it's the colours that really make this different - bright purple and green and orange in addition to the red, yellow, medium green and brown. I know that collectors usually want intact fringe on serapes, but the roping looks contemporary to the serape. It is woven in wool, fairly tightly. Would you think 1930s or 40s, and is the missing fringe a big issue on this one?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]350937[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]350941[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]350943[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
