Decorative Textile1440/2

V-shaped, multicoloured, embroidered, decorative band. The 2 “arms” of the band are decorated with a repeated, square, embroidered motif, perhaps representing a natural object, such as an animal, bird or plant. All motifs are identical to each other in design, but differ in colouration. At the inside edge of the V is a strip (13 mm) of multicoloured, slanted Greek key motifs which has been embroidered onto an open-weave textile, then appliquéd onto the piece; the outer edge is finished with a narrow strip of black cotton textile. The lower edge of the V is finished with green commercially-made fringe (14 cm). The piece is underlined with pastel striped cotton textile.

Each panel measures approximately 41 centimetres wide, and the textile has a slight sheen. The hanging or cover is edged on all four sides with narrow bias strips of machine printed cotton textile (multicoloured floral designs on black background), and is backed with plain off-white cotton muslin that has been pieced in many places. The ikat side is quilted onto the backing, using red-orange thread. There are some black, indecipherable markings on the backing.
