Description :
Handwoven Southwestern Textile with Stylized Bird Motifs and Fringe Handwoven wool textile featuring a striped Southwestern composition with repeating stylized bird motifs and knotted fringe ends. The design incorporates earthy mustard, cream, brown, and black tones arranged in horizontal bands, with a central bird figure rendered in a bold, graphic silhouette. The texture and color palette give the piece a warm, grounded presence. The textile is finished with thick twisted fringe at both ends, suggesting traditional loom weaving techniques. Its size and construction make it suitable for use as a wall hanging, runner, bench accent, or decorative layering piece. The overall aesthetic aligns with mid-century Southwestern and Zapotec-inspired textiles popular in American interiors during the mid to late 20th century.
