[QUOTE="DBinSV, post: 9431803, member: 7320"]The length of the cloth part of this piece is 85 inches (a little over 7 feet/2 meters), while the width is 62.5 inches/159 centimeters. It has what look like buttonholes spaced at eight-inch intervals around the perimeter, including at the bottom, which is tapered, and a kind of lace top/hood. Judging from the initials that were sewn into it, it dates back about 100 years and would have been acquired in either Russia or Lithuania. My late grandmother had been saving it for sentimental reasons. I would like to learn what purpose it served. Any assistance in that regard would be most appreciated.[/QUOTE]
