Identification notes
Fine pale yarn intersections form a grain-like surface between narrow blue stripes; one end changes continuously into charcoal grey.
Regional attribution: Attributed to Nantong / Chongming within Jiangnan; city unresolved. The exact maker, workshop and production year are not documented.
The pattern is described as woven into the cloth, rather than printed on its surface.
The colour change belongs to the same continuous weaving, without a joining seam. The blue section and the intact 160 cm end are alternative purchase choices from one original bolt.
