A Simple Indigo Cotton Fragment: Two Panels of Hand Spun Cotton

ca. late nineteenth, early twentieth century
38" x 26", 96.5 cm x 66 cm

This is a beautiful and simple hand spun, hand woven, indigo dyed cotton textile: the patched panels are hand stitched together and it seems this was once part of a jacket lining.

The beauty and artistic value of this textile is in its threads which are old and good; this would make wonderful raw material for a textile project or to be refashioned into something new to be given new life.

The center seam is undone from the bottom hem upward for about 6" or 15 cm.

Beautiful cloth.
