    Tivaevae taorei. Patchwork quilt. Large rectangular shape.

This geometric pattern alternates with a pattern of red and white striped chevrons. Entire patchwork is bordered with unbleached calico (one border missing) but not sewn to a backing sheet - the underside is exposed.

    Large stain at one border side. Fabric is frayed and stained in many areas.
