Measurements
From top to bottom

40 cm for 2/3 of the fabric and the strip at the bottom measures 27 cm wide.
Condition
Slightly distressed. The first two motifs from top are in good condition without damage. The rest of the motifs will show small holes and thin areas. Bottom motifs show some light fading. Color is good and even for the most part.
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.
