Off-white macrame, dimensions approx. 94.5 x 171 cm.

Macramé is a form of textile produced using knotting techniques.

The primary knots of macramé are the square knot (a variant of the reef knot) and forms of “hitching”: various combinations of half hitches. It was long crafted by sailors, especially in elaborate or ornamental knotting forms, to decorate anything from knife handles to bottles to parts of ships.
