M. Backhouse: 'Large, dark brown piece of barkcloth with patterning on one side only, and patches of similar barkcloth finely stitched in. The major designs in the centre consist wholly of spots in concentric cirles which are organised into four rectangular vertical boxes. Before and after the first of these boxes are thinner boxes divided into triangles and filled in with spots. The whole is framed by straight lines forming concentric rectangles between which are spots and diagonal lines.'
