A double-woven dark gray silk organdy fabric in which the two plain-woven layers of silk intersect at pre-designed points along both the warp and weft, thus forming pockets into which guinea feathers have been inserted during the weaving process. The black and white feathers remain affixed in the individual spaces created by the weave structure, as if suspended in mid-air. The superimposed grids formed by the warp and weft of the two layers of transparent silk create a moire effect. Side edges are selveges. A 2-1/2" casing is sewn into the top edge of the fabric [by conservator for mounting]. The bottom edge is cut and unfinished.
