Object/Artifact
Entirely hand stitched fine cotton with warp shadow stripes. Cut in one piece; triangular front and back. Edges piped; bottom edge finished with finely hemmed self frill tapering to nothing at CF corners. Print is cylinder printed in brown with major and minor columns of roses in major and minor sizes. One column is shaded red and the other shaded brown. Two have clumsy blue splotches. The colors appear to have lost the original intended hues.
