Description
Fragment of an all wool; natural and blue; 4 harness, overshot coverlet weave. "Chariot Wheel" from Kingston, RI.
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.
