A Length of Old Kasuri Cotton: Hand Spun Yarns
late nineteenth century
58" x 13 1/4", 147 cm x 33.5 cm
This is an especially nice length of indigo dyed kasuri cotton.
It is especially nice for its beautiful pattern, its hand spun cotton yarns and for its very nice hand weaving.
Its old age also adds to the charm as does the subtle wear to the surface and the light fading which brings out the rustic quality of the yarns.
As can be seen there are some holes to the length some of which are noted in the attached detail photos. The length does contain these flaws but what is more important about it is its beautifully design integrity that speaks of its age which is estimated to be from the late nineteenth century.
A beauty, for sure.
