A Length of Hand Woven Cotton: Two Pieces and Patches

late nineteenth, early twentieth century
75" x 13 1/4", 190.5 cm x 33.5 cm

This is a well-used length of patched cloth that is assembled from twor hand-stitched pieces.

The boro cloth shows surface distress from years of use as well as some interesting patching and hand stitching. The handsome striped cotton is of good color and of supple hand--and this is a length of generous size.

Simple and attractive this length would be beautiful if admired as artwork, if used as a home accessory or if worn as a scarf.
