Description

Large rectangular tapa cloth with black light brown geometric designs against brown background. The designs are organized in a three-by-four grid. Each of the grid’s rectangles contains, at centre, a black four-point star and, in the corners, two black spades-like and two black clubs-like designs oriented diagonally away from the centre. Each rectangle is bordered by dark brown lines and the entire tapa cloth has a black border. The brown base areas are decorated with light brown linear patterns. One edge is un-pigmented with irregular, somewhat ragged edges.
