Object Description
Piece of brown and blue cotton gauze with red and yellow wool weft patterned weaved border: Textile of simple gauze weave, warp and weft dark blue cotton with a few dark brown cotton warps (warp, weft: s). Warps spaced to create dense stripes and open spaces. Across warp selvages are borders of complementary weft float weave with wave bands in magenta and yellow camelid. Presently square but remnants of sewing yarn and one corner (still sewn) suggest this was folded and sewn into triangle. Some warping mistakes evident, hang loose. Four selvages.
