This appears to be one section, or lengthwise panel, of an overshot coverlet. It is made of olive green wool and light brown (may have been white or buff at one time) linen. The geometric pattern is similar to John Lande's #44 and Miss cobb #2 (Atwater P. 191). It may have been made in the 18th century.
