Looks like it was either an after thought or the maker was a little tipsy. Very crude work from what the pictures show and the size makes me wonder if someone patched it together for a king size bed. I mean no offense but giving my opinion based on your input and photo's. It could be worth a million to someone.
It was made in Central or South America, on a backstrap loom the width of the single panels. It's a common practice in those weaving areas to produce wider widths of fabric by stitching two or more woven sections together like this. Since it's basically a cottage industry, craftsmanship can vary widely.
Thank you
