Delightful hand block print caracao.

Condition

Very good. The caracao looks clean and fresh. There are two very small slight areas of wear on the right hand side, when you look at the piece, 1/2 cm. There are slight pale markings to the top left hand shoulder and on the back, but they are very feint. The drawstring is a later replacement.

Comments

A similar caracao is held in the Williamsburg collection. ACC.2000-86. Also see What Clothes Reveal by Linda Baumgarten p 121.
