A Small Indigo Dyed Cotton Boro Fragment: Good Threads

ca. late nineteenth, early twentieth century
25" x 13", 63.5 cm x 33 cm

This is an attractive little piece of old, hand loomed, indigo dyed cotton boro cloth.

The indigo color is strong and clear; the length is composed of two pieces that have been hand stitched together.  The boro cloth has been patched with six cotton fragments and the overall cloth is a bit variable in weight: it goes from an almost-threabare to a robust weight.  There are two prominent holes, shown in the accompanying detail photos.

Just lovely.
