Wrap-around skirt (pukhang). Composed of three thin lengths of woven fabric, stitched together on the long edge. Alternating bands of red and dark black-blue run down the length, each band with thin double stripes of the opposing colour running down the centre and terminating with an eight-point asterisk(?). Each end has supplementary patterning(?) in stiff red-brown fibre with three breaks with bands of embroidered geometric shapes - red-brown meander(?) design on dark black-blue ground, red-brown zigzags with white flecks inbetween points on a black-blue ground, and a smaller meander(?) in grey, orange, brown-yellow, dark black-blue over the original weave. Collector's tag sewn to back.
