In the central panel of this early 19th C
tentband, green silk knots dot the diagonal red branches, and pink
silk outlines the indigo diagonals. The use of silk here emphasizes
the importance of this center panel, which would have been directly
opposite the tent entrance. Radiating from the center is a sequence
of eight symmetrical rectangular panels. The two pomegranate ones
are handsome but my favorites are the narrower, more geometric
elements. White cotton adds good color contrast.
