Woman selling an imitation

Russell Lee, who took this wonderful street photo in 1939, said that it shows a woman selling an imitation Turkish spread in San Antonio --- but isn't that a shawl? I'm probably mistaken. Isn't she awesome? I love everything about this, including the man photo bombing over her shoulder and the tie being worn by the man on the right.
