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)
