A bleached plain weave linen bureau scarf featuring a Turkey red embroidery. The design is of two owls, one with a bandage over its eye and the phrase "Where were you Last Night." The top has an unfinished edge, but the right, left and bottom edges have a 1/2" long self-fringe. The motif was probably traced from a stencil. |
