<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 4430663, member: 8267&quot;]Looks loom woven, probably handwoven rather than machine. I need better closeups to be sure, but it looks like the pattern on one end shows the reverse of the pattern on the other end. It looks like the type of &quot;overshot&quot; weaving seen in coverlets (among other places), where the colored weft travels (floats) over several warps to create the pattern. This results in one design showing on the front, and a sort of reverse image showing on the back of the textile. Perhaps this piece was a sampler to demonstrate the effect.</p><p><br /></p><p>The design looks similar to textiles from a variety of places such as Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, as well as the US and Canada. Identifying the fibers might be helpful, but probably not diagnostic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
