This piece has been woven on a man's narrow double-heddle loom from yellow, gold and tan imported rayon yarn. It shows a yellow warp with a diagonal interlacing supplementary weft-float pattern, and is made up of two joined strips which are each 15 cm wide. The back is lined with white cotton cloth. It comes from the Catholic Misson at Oye Ekiti, over which the missionary priest, Father Kevin Carroll, presided at the time of its production. This piece matches the cloth on the equestrian crib figure in D0023. It was lent by John Danford in 1964 and purchased in 1975. |
