Two small, woven pieces • Mexican? magnifier black silkTwo small woven pieces. The smaller of the two is woven with a fairly rough wool. The weft of the larger piece is much softer. They came from the estate of a woman who was interested in fiber arts and collected ethnographic textiles. My research suggests they are Mexican but I have no indication of how old they are. However, they were most likely collected within the last 20 30 years. The larger piece measures 11" x 11. 5" and the smaller 7. 5" x 8".
