You know I love my antique Froebel kindergarten folded and woven paper exercises, usually the finer the better, but for me this one transcends those origins to read, and satisfy, like a sophisticated abstract painting. In part due to the chance unfolding of a few of those purple corners long ago, and also due to the slightly off kilter arrangement of those square (and torn edges of the backing paper too) it makes me think of the work of Hélio Oiticica and other perfect things. I'd be especially happy to keep this one to simply frame and hang and enjoy evey single day.
8 1/4" x 7 7/8. Edge losses to the backing paper, which is somewhat brittle, as evident. A few glue stains along edges of folded squares native to it, all to the good I think. With a simple woven paper square on reverse.
