A Length of Complex Plaid and Kasuri: Large Motifs

late nineteenth, early twentieth century
67" x 13 1/4", 170 cm x 33.5 cm

This is a length of thickly woven kasuri cotton that is bold in its pattern and rich in its color and design.

The cloth is woven as plaid that shows white colored woven designs that appear in the center part of the length. The images are abstractions of forms found in nature. The honeycomb-like design is tortoiseshell, for example.

This is a super handsome length of old kasuri cotton that bears a sophisticated design: quite elegant.

Recommended.
