An old Kantha Textile.
Mid 1900s
Kantha Cover (Bostani), Bengal
Elephant and floral motif in square shape which was considered auspicious.
The unusual feature about this elaborately done artwork is that it is a single layer of fine cloth - most probably cotton but could be muslin
Was probably intended as wrapper for a book
