Queen Menon Handwoven Ethiopian Silk Shawl
These luxurious pure silk shawls are made from naturally dyed, hand spun Ethiopian silk. The design is made of silk dyed in either coffee (to create the beige) or a mix of pomegranate and iron (to create the silver). The designs, called tibeb, are found on many traditional Ethiopian shawls. Weavers pick up threads individually to create the geometric patterns. The shawls are made of Eri silk, a thicker, more nubbly variety than mulberry silk. The silk is grown in southern Ethiopia. This shawl is named after Queen Menon, the Empress of the Ethiopian Empire between 1930 and 1962.
