Crib or Doll Coverlet

David Daniel Haring

ca. 1836 · Wool and cotton, woven · The American Wing

This dark blue wool and undyed cotton double cloth crib or doll coverlet is woven in one panel. Although the piece is meant to be displayed with the two R + B blocks at the foot, it is woven sideways. The natural fringes on the left and right sides are the ends of the cut warp threads. The animal and floral motifs are typical of Haring's work.
