The corner block displays a bold American eagle flanked by stars, underscoring the patriotic spirit of the era. Woven entirely by hand using a Jacquard loom, this coverlet not only exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship but also the uniquely personal tradition of the time, where the names of recipients or makers were often woven into the lower corners of the textile.
