Tapa Cloth

Very large tapa cloth (shroud type) with a light orange background, painted with a grid of squares that fully cover the piece. Each grid is filled with a linear pattern of concentric boxes or horizontal wavy lines in dark brown. On top of this are painted thick stripes running from top to bottom in brown-grey with leaf shapes protruding from the middle lines, and triangles from the side lines. The long edges of the tapa have been left uncoloured, and have been painted with cross hatching and numbers in brown. One end of the piece has been cut, while the other is finished. The underside of the tapa is also painted orange, but undecorated except for the patterning that shows through from the front.
