Camel Cover3377/16 a-b

Camel cover. Large textile meant to drape over an animal's body. The frame is somewhat I-shaped with a solid rectangular body and two cross-sections of fabric that would drape near the animal’s limbs. Attached at one end is a head cover with triangular eye flaps and strips of fabric that would drape over the muzzle. On both sides, between the hanging strips and attached to the triangles along the main body, are four rows by eight columns of small fabric squares attached on corners to either the next square or main fabric. This is repeated with smaller squares of fabric hanging from the head cover. The squares have solid silks in olive green or deep purple, and Ikat pattern. Three attached squares (part b) have detached from the cover. The shoulder fabric and head cover have fringe or fabric tassels. The fabric face is deep pink-purples and greens, and is backed with reds and black.
