Description

With changing weft

Two fragments of a textile, most likely a "gauze" weave in cotton. There are sections of warp selvages present. The piece would have been a large cloth. Overall measurements not taken due to fragility and that there are two fragments. (In current condition and folded both fragments combined measure approx. 78 x 50cm). Color(s): Brown (most undyed).
