Two irregular cotton fragments, with negative designs in medium brown on a light brown background. Part a, the larger of the fragments, has at least six different rectangular designs repeat in oblique rows: two faces with coronas, two bird designs, one interlocked serpent and one triangulated design that appears to incorporate the bird tail. The rectangles are divided by longitudinal bands with variations of step-frets and serpent related imagery. The short transverse bands have a similar array of motifs that also repeat obliquely. A small segment of weft selvedge remains and is paralleled by a border of step-frets. Part b is of the same cloth as part a, but has another bird design and another face. Z-spun, two-ply yarn.
