Notable Features
The use of a complex Jacquard loom technique to create a reversible pattern with multi-colored yarns, mimicking hand-loomed folk textiles.
Condition Issues
Heavy creasing from improper storage, potential minor pilling of the fibers, and surface dust from exposure to an open warehouse environment.
Conservation Recommendations
Professional laundering or steaming to remove creases; store flat or rolled in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation and fading.
