I definitely still love this

late 19th or early 20th century I believe

with the grain of the wood adding to the terrific sculptural quality of the man and his horse

with ebony backs

Beautiful As Found, Antique Doll Quilt with Red Yarn Ties antique forms and solids I definitely still love thisI find this old handmade doll quilt, dotted all over with knots of red yarn evincing a field of stars, very beautiful and it immediately it made me think of Yayoi Kusama, too! I really love old things, especially much aged and tactile ones, that also feel like contemporary artworks, and this feels very much that way to me, while also quite poignant for its numerous lost knots and much toned and stained cloth. I would treat it as a drawing and hang it
