Physical description

Small fragment of brown, purple and pink hand spun, hand loomed, double woven cloth. Made up of two identically patterned pieces of fabric, hand-stitched together at the red band and finished along one edge with a length of dark brown woven cording. Stacked opposing diagonals create a repeated zizzag motif in two of the bands.
