meanings & history
"Devoured by termites
is a kind of dotted cloth, wowen to show the state of the cloth
devoured by termites. Designed from the impression of this state,
it also indicates the state of being devoured by termites in
the grave. It was formerly wed to bury the dead. It's also a
funeral cloth." (Dale Massiasta 1993)
