Different kinds of ulos have different ceremonial significance. They are traditionally hand woven and in the case of higher-quality examples are significant family heirlooms, to be worn at important events, such as funerals, weddings or birth of a child.
These were made from Ulos Sadum worn by women as shawl or scarf, slung on the shoulder.
Backed in antique hemp, fully lined and with zip opening. Embellished in fringes made from recycled silk sari ribbons.
