Description

One of the abstract configurations is a comma shaped motif called "shina boa" (the tail of a dog). CONDITION: Good. Some weakening of fibers and staining in some areas. A few applique motifs have been stitched over areas where the cloth has worn through. There is slight discoloration due to age.
