About this work

Linen natural-colored textile fragment with sewn-on woolen strip in velvet. The base weave consists of green woolen threads and the added weft system of black and brown woolen threads forming the drawing. The drawing consists of four parallel stripes, forming bands which cross on the green background and form squares with a geometric ornament in the center.
