An Elegantly Designed Short Length of Kasuri Cotton: Sparkling Pattern

early twentieth century
33" x 13 3/4", 84 cm x 35 cm

The geometry within the design of this kasuri woven cotton cloth is wonderfully intriguing and repetitive: small, complicated rectangles of two sizes alternate along a vertically-oriented stripe.  In between these white-on-blue patterns are pale mustard colored stripes.

The cotton is dyed a very inky indigo color which reads as black.

A sophisticated design, this is a wonderfully realized piece of kasuri cotton.
