Description

Navy and natural figured doubleweave coverlet; two panels joined by a center seam. No fringe. Shielded eagle and willow border on sides; birds and houses on bottom. Centerfield pattern is Lilies of France with starburst. Something went wrong in the setup of the warp to jumble the motifs at the edges where the dark and light colors meet.
