A Length of Hemp or Ramie Mosquito Netting: Patch and Mend
$45.00 USD
early to mid twentieth century
60" x 11", 152.5 cm x 28 cm
This is a lovely, repaired panel of open weave hemp cloth which was taken from a kaya or mosquito netting hence the loose, open weave of the cloth.
The color is a beautiful, dull greenish tone; the hemp yarns are softened with age and the aged cloth of the panel is supple and flowing.
As is plain to see there is are repairs and mending to the piece: there is a patch on the upper left. There is a small stitched repair in the middle of the length. There are some very faint stains which are barely noticeable and there is overall light fading.
A lovely panel from an old boro kaya with a good deal of character.
