Sash

Worn by men as either a ceremonial sash or belt, or 'scarf' for around the neck. Also could be used as a carrying cloth or wrap. The complete process of making the silk is done within the village starting with the growing of the silk worms and processing of the cocoons into silk. The majority of the dyes used are purchased in the market; some natural dyes are still used. The silks are kept as personal property and stored folded in a white cotton wrap and are rarely shown or sold to anyone outside the village. They may also be used as temple gifts, for redistribution.

Pattern of small squares divided by large bands of yellow and white, with smaller lines of white and dark red running through. Ends of scarf have wide borders of vertical stripes.
