Full size hammock. Hammock is made of many thin strands of rolled palm fibre running parallel on the horizontal plane, doubled over at the ends. Dyed and undyed stripes alternate. Two very long ties are strung through the fold at each end. Along the body of the hammock the palm fibre is bound by white wool braided in a fishtail pattern, running perpendicular to the palm. The last two braids on each end are dyed red. The braids finish in thin tassels that hang from the edges of the hammock.
