Size: 188 x 85 cm

Condition: Loss at ends. Some loss at sides. Overall wear to field.

Notes: Despite the condition issues this is a special piece. Natural dyes and a tribal-inspired drawing. Vivid shades of indigo and madder, 'rose of Heriz' and others. Crisp, clear drawing. Because of wear, it would be best-suited to decorative use on a wall, or on soft furnishings, or even under glass on a coffee-table or suchlike.
