The cloth was made by my mother, Marie Schuster, in about 1905. She was 13 at the time and living in Boemisch-Weisien, Austria.
The actual cloth is white with red stitch work and about 13 x 20 inches. Note the button holes at each of the four corners.
The purpose of the cloth is somewhat of a mystery; read the Mailing List Messages for some thoughts on what it might be.
