A Note from the Contributor

Maria C. Vallejo: This piece, one of many in my collection, has a special place in the selection and quality of workmanship. Do I imagine a grandmother teaching her grandchild, or was the thread not fine enough? Am I perhaps critical and judging of its maker? I am not.

Condition

Good; some light discoloration
