Dresser ScarfEntry/Object ID
1980. .018Description
Appears handmade, constructed of white thread, probably cotton, construction appears to be netting. Either end has tassels approx. 15 cm long. The fabric is constructed by a netting technique which forms squares approx. .7 cm apart. Knots hold the corners of each square in position. A design on this framework has been formed by weaving white cotton thread between the squares.
This forms four similar designs in each corner of the object and one central "one way" design. The center design is Royalty... featuring 3 feather design.
Similar in construction/appearance to panels used for curtaining. Cotton thread used as filling thread appears different from thread used for netting background (filling thread has much slacker twist).Acquisition
