A Beautifully Faded and Battered Boro Fragment: Layers
$35.00 USD
late nineteenth century
10" x 14 1/4", 25.5 cm x 36 cm
This little layered and abraded beauty is hand stitched of faded indigo dyed cotton. Based on the manner in which it is hand finished on its three sides it seems it might have been part of a work jacket.
Its color is wonderful as are its repairs and wear. The cloth is three layers thick and the individual layers are quite obvious when looking into the worn areas of cloth. All the cotton is hand spun and hand woven.
A little jewel.
