Rectangular, tabby-woven, skirt cloth in dark brown decorated with a white ikat pattern. The textile is seemingly from a larger cloth as it appears cut at both shorter sides. It has had a trapezoid section cut out towards one of these sides. The weft-faced ikat pattern consists of 2 zigzag stripes creating a stripe of linked lozenge motifs at the centre, and inward-facing dentate patterns on the outsides. The triangular and lozenge shaped fields contain smaller patterns. The panel is framed by 2 thin stripes and plain brown edges.
