A Beautifully Colored Boro Kaya: Overdyed Hemp

$55.00 USD

ca. early to mid twentieth century
74" x 12 1/2", 188 cm x 31.5 cm

This is a handsome and wonderful length of boro, rustic, over dyed indigo hemp cloth.  This is a panel from a kaya or mosquito netting, hence the open weave of the cloth.

The color is a deep green which is a very true, pine needle green.  The hemp yarns are wiry and have taken the dye in a slightly uneven fashion, which adds to the country appeal of this length.

There are two patches applied to this boro length, both --one is hemp, the other is a cotton mesh piece. 

A charming and really lovely length of old, hemp boro kaya, one with nice age and a very generous size.

Recommended.
