To my eye this is a perfect presentation of a beautifully minimalist looking thing, but also a very intimate one, with wear and stains visible when one looks closely. It is a white cotton bib, hand-quilted I believe, with that white on white stitching like a line drawing, spiraling outward, round and round. As the world turns. Subtle and tender and lovely.
Framed, under glass, as found: 13 5/16" x 11 5/16". Good condition, with a bit of fraying along one edge of the bib and a bit of gold paint loss along the far edges of the frame. Wired ont he back for hanging.
