Cotton blanket. Large textile is made of seven long thin pieces of weaving that have been stitched together. Each completes part of the overall decoration of the blanket, with a variety of black stripes in various thicknesses, along with two smaller panels to either side of centre in blue, red and orange, four longer panels in red, orange and black, and small elongated dots in red and blue. Ends are left unfinished, creating a short fringe.
