Antique Kindergarten Paper Weaving in Greens stereoscopic 5 which I might guess

5 which I might guess meant ounces or grams per unit

Very nicely done

as much lovelier in person

is I believe a late 19th c American printed indigo--which is how I found it

pulled by this terrific row of three black dogs

Antique Kindergarten Paper Weaving in Greens stereoscopic 5 which I might guessA lovely example of a late 19th early 20th c. kindergarten woven paper "beauty form" using Froebel's 14th Gift weaving papers. Celadon green paper woven into darker green, and mounted to tan. For Froebel, paper weaving was a means of teaching "counting, progression, method, composition, planning and creativity" [Norman Brosterman, Inventing Kindergarten] as well as, perhaps most importantly, color. 5 1 16" x 4 3 8", very good condition.
