Warp: 54 cm (21 1/4 in.). Weft: 80 cm (31 1/2 in.) Both selvedges present. Piece seamed together horizontally near the bottom. Pattern: Sophisticated concept for this period of block printing in northern France: the design does not repeat across the width of the fabric but if lengths of fabric were sewn together correctly they would form a half-drop repeat. Height of repeat not present.
