It looks arisaidesque to me, too (if that's a word). 22 inches seems skimpy for that though, but I saw what looks like a seam in one picture, and if it's woven by hand, maybe the lengths were joined to make a wider piece?

At any rate, it doesn't look to me like something a man would tend to wear, at least not in earlier periods; it may not be a piece of clothing at all, but I'd like to think that it is.

On another note, this seems an excelent thread idea. Thanks!

EDIT: And is there some kind of extra fringe sewn onto the selvedge at one point?
