Tallit, circa 1984
Abstract
A prayer shawl (tallit - Sephardic pronunciation, tallis - Ashkenazic pronunciation) made from white jacquard. There are woven blue stripes and a repeated woven emblem on the edges. The emblems stand for a blessing said in Hebrew before putting on the prayer shawl. Each end has long fringes (''tzitzit'' in Hebrew).
