Description
Full size hammock. Hammock is made of many thin strands of undyed, rolled palm fibre running parallel on the horizontal plane. These are joined together at each end in a thick woven loop. Along the body of the hammock the palm fibre is bound by braided white wool in a fishtail pattern, running perpendicular to the palm. The four-strand braids end in thin tassels that hang from the edges of the hammock.
