Description
I printed this nice white cotton fabric which comes from one of the last cotton mills in America by hand using stamps which I carved myself.
This teardrop with the winged dogs is based on actual printed fabric which is very similar to the printed fabric in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum where it is dated towards the 12th/13th century as well as a printed fabric piece in the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest where it is dated to the 14th century. Both Museum collections agree about the German origin of the fabric which is very similar in style and shape.
During the last years fabric collections were re-examined and the similar looking print mentioned above, as well as several other medieval prints, were deemed (late) medieval falsifications. Though the actual dating to the 12th-13th or 14th century might be questionable now, it is still (very probably) a print from the medieval time period. However, I will use the initial dating until the museums update the time period for this pieces.
All seams of the bag were reinforced. The whole bag was lined with the same nice white cotton fabric. All used fabrics were pre-washed. The bag is machine washable if needed.
