A Fragment of Complex Stitched and Tied Shibori: Textural Pattern
early twentieth century
18 1/2" x 12 1/2", 47 cm x 31.5 cm
This is a fragment of indigo dyed cotton shibori that is dyed using both stitched and tied techniques, the result being a super-complex, almost-textured pattern.
The blue-on-white aspect of the densely dyed shibori enhances the textural effect; this is an example of shibori so visually appealing and relatively rare that it is a pleasure to offer it for sale.
The cotton is old and possibly hand woven: there are flaws to it.
A small hole mars the surface but it does not detract from the overall beauty of this stunning little piece of old indigo dyed cotton shibori.
