An Inky Indigo Dyed Kasuri Length: Warp and Weft

early twentieth century33" x 13 3/4", 83.75 cm x 35 cm The geometry within the design of this kasuri woven cotton cloth is wonderfully intriguing and repetitive: small, complicated rectangles of two sizes alternate along a vertically-oriented stripe.  In between these white-on-blue patterns are pale mustard colored stripes. The cotton is dyed a very inky indigo color which reads as black. A sophisticated design, this is a wonderfully realized piece of kasuri cotton.
