Panel of an overshot coverlet; Pennsylvania; 19th century
date: label: Date made
content: 19th century
notes: label: Description
content: This panel represents one half of a finished coverlet. The weaver used red and blue wool and white cotton yarns to create this “Nine Snowball” overshot coverlet. The bottom edge has an applied, woven fringe. The other three sides are unfinished and the long border edge may have had a self-fringe at one time. The “Pine Tree” Border was created from reductions and extensions of the main, centerfield pattern. This coverlet was likely woven in Pennsylvania.
