Description

The red ground cloth is very loosely woven and the selvedges show no sign of having been sewn to another fabric. Z-spun; 2 plied s.
History Of Use
A fabric, similar in technique, materials and designs, is termed a 'panel' by A. Rowe (1977). It is likely this panel is one of four that would have been used to construct a poncho shirt through sewing and addition of bands. Yarn analysis shows this fabric is consistent with central coast utilitarian textiles (Rowe 1980).
