Description
EMBROIDERED TABLECLOTH WITH CHECKER PATTERN DESIGN
Color: Cream
A tablecloth with checker design, purchased in Panama, ca. 1920. It is a cream colored square cotton loose-weave tablecloth with woven blue lines forming an checkered pattern, hand embroidered black edge trimming, and nine multi-colored embroidered flowers in high relief at each corner with chain stitched embroidered leaves and stems surrounding the flowers. The piece is part of a set of four napkins, with the others being items 94.5.5.2-.5. This record replaces the original inadvertently deleted on 27 March 2000, thereby losing the movement history of the artifacts within the museum. The item is in good condition, except that for wrinkles from laundering.
