Kokerdoek

1954

A tubular cloth consisting of three parts sewn together. The parts are woven separately from each other and are different from each other, the middle strip is narrower than the two outer strips, which are equal in width. The strips are itked on the warp, the two outer strips almost symmetrical, the narrow inner strip with a separate pattern, which however fits so well with the other two parts, that the pattern of the cloth is seen as a whole. The basic colour of the cloth is brown-red with some narrow blue warp bands. The warp is applied as a series of almost contiguous narrow pattern stripes, zigzag line motifs and somewhat broader figures, usually geometric in design.
