Japan. Meiji period, early 20th century.

Cotton, with indigo-dyed double ikat and e-gasuri.  Made in four separate panels and joined to make a cover 49"x 53." This bold, dramatic piece of textile folk art is in excellent condition. The motif is the Japanese mythical bushy-tailed turtle which supposedly lives 10,000 years and thus conveys wishes for longevity.  $650
