A Length of Kasuri Cotton: Stepped Diamond Pattern

mid twentieth century
57 1/2" x 13 1/2", 146 cm x 34 cm

This is a handsomely designed length of kasuri cotton.

Because of the colors used and the elegant, geometric design it recalls or suggests a kind of Art Deco feeling.

The stepped, alternating, diagonally-set bands of silver and black give a striking visual impact. The yellow toned, warp-based stripes that run through the design add a bit of depth of color however they are surprisingly unobtrusive on the effect of the silver and black-themed pattern.

Very attractive and well-designed, this is a good-looking length of kasuri cotton in an elegant pattern
