Fragment of a 4-harness, overshot coverlet weave with fine cotton warp and weft; the overshot pattern in blue and rose woll yarn forming figured weft stripes.
Because of the donor, Mrs. Allen's, importance in teaching and preserving early handweaving, and the use of materials she collected in books on the subject, NMAH should keep the fragments she donated in the collection, as part of the national woven coverlet collection.
