The cover was in the donor’s husband’s home when she moved there in the 1930s, then it was used as a carpet. This was continued in the 1980s when it was put away. The cover is contained in a stencil from 1993 by Kerstin Lychou: “Duvets and Wooden objects from Bohusländer” where objects found at the veil inventories from 1973 to the mid-1980s are described. The task that the cover comes from Solberga taken from there. Very broken along one long side, holes and large flaws. Great flaws and smaller holes even inside the cover. The back very worn, especially in the stretcher.
