Axum Black and White Striped Cotton Table Runner

This elegant table runner is made with hand spun Ethiopian cotton. The design is made with a traditional 'pick up' technique on a traditional hand loom. The pattern was inspired by the ancient stelae of Axum in northern Ethiopia. Sabahar has taken the traditional design and modernized it, making it a great accent for homes throughout the world.

Measures 18 x 70 inches. Hand wash, line dry.
