A Gorgeously Patched Length of Cotton Kaya: Indigo Dyed Mosquito Netting

ca. early twentieth century
95 1/2" x 13", 242.5 cm x 33 cm

This is a particularly beautiful, cotton boro kaya or mosquito netting.  

Its beauty resides in its lovely, warm blue color, almost a cornflower blue: clear, rich and easy on the eyes.  There are three narrow, white stripes down the length of this cloth.

The patching to this kaya is also top-notch, with 9 patches of cotton cloth, each hand stitched to the base cloth, which is extra-long and which is composed of two pieces.

A visual treat, this boro kaya has many alluring qualities, chief among them its indigo dyed color, its artful patching and its beautifully woven texture.
