*actually four pieces hand seamed together. The largest seam runs across the width at the bottom at the upper half of the figures. It's extremely well matched up creating full motifs.
Condition
Several of the motifs are in good condition without damage and other are in partially good condition with some damage. You will also see some holes here and there and some thin areas. Good piece for various projects and possibilites.
The background has turned brownish from dust and aging but can be successfully cleaned if desired. This piece was part of a larger piece that had all been pieced together. I have used some pieces of the fabric and sucessfully removed the discoloration with a good long soaking.
