This American folk art primitive was done by an artist in 1994.  It is signed JB; we have not yet identified the artist.  The artist has combined stencil art, hand painting, hand drawing, and staining / antiquing of the fabric.

The center panel is surrounded by fabric borders of a small blue and beige check / gingham.   COW surrounded by hearts is stenciled along the top.  A checkerboard pattern is stenciled on the bottom border.  Numbers (1 through 7) and hearts are stenciled on the sides.  On the center panel, a black marker/pen was used for the numbers, some of the details on the cow and for the artist’s initials and the 94 date.

The artist has also stained / antiqued the beige fabric used for the back of the pillow.

The pillow is about 16” x 13” when measured along the edges.  It is over 5” thick in the center.  There is no zipper; if you ever need to take out the pillow stuffing there is a section along the bottom seam where it would be easy to undo it.

It is in very good condition and is ready to be a charming accent in a country or primitive décor.  If you like cows, hearts, checkerboards, etc. ….. this wonderful and functional American primitive art / craft is just for you!
