A textile wrapper. The warp threads are mainly black, with at intervals grey and yellow. On this ground, weft-faced weaving with light brown and black is used in a design of various geometric shapes including chequered rectangle and chevrons. These are contained within black warp threads at regular intervals creating an effect of belt bands lengthwise. [PB 20/07/23]
