Coverlet, "Boston Town"

Byron Dingman

National Gallery of Art

The image is a textile pattern design. It consists of horizontal bands in red, blue, and green. The design includes floral motifs with leaves and flower urns in a symmetrical style. There are fantastical birds facing each other, with intertwined necks. A row of stylized houses or buildings is at the bottom. The smaller insert at the bottom right shows a detailed close-up.
