Panel

A fabric, similar in technique, materials and designs, is termed a 'panel' by a. Rowe (1977, fig. 48). It is likely this panel is one of four that would have been used to construct a poncho through sewing and the addition of bands (Rowe 1977, fig.47). Yarn analysis shows this fabric is consistent with central coast utilitarian textiles.

A small, intact rectangle of brown fabric with four selvedges. Standing birds are repeated along diagonals, alternating and interlocking with similar birds on adjacent diagonals. 4 colours of supplementary warp and weft floats (white, blue, red and brown), define the figures against the brown, plain-woven background. The cloth is loosely woven and shows no signs of having been sewn to another fabric. Z-spun, s plied yarns.
