Summer duvet cover, split down middle in back. Unique and one-of-a-kind potted flower design. Hand-appliqued linen. Believed to be made by ex-slave. This bold yet simple pattern is reminiscent of Crusader-style tunics, worn over battle armor. The stylized red leaves have been traditionally used in decorating sword handles and metal anchor details on items such as coffered boxes, silver cutlery, architectural hinges and jewelry.
