The cloth consists of two panels of red silk, hand loomed on back-strap loom with discontinuous warp and dyed with a weft ikat resist technique-known as "endek", that are sewn together with the seam down the centre. A songket supplementary weft of silver covered threads divides the central design into four rows of rectangular shapes with tall tree-like cones at either end.

'In the Spirit of the Ancestors'-In 1991, I commissioned Dorothy Grant to make me a coat. My nani coat, I called it, in honor of Florence Edenshaw Davidson, my teacher, collaborator, and surrogate grandmother (nani). The design tells of Florence's and my collaboration. On the front: Raven (nani Florence) telling the story; on the back: Frog (me) receiving it. I wore this coat to Florence's memorial potlatch in October 1994. - Margaret Blackman

The kilt is wrapped around the waist and tied in place, the lower fringe reaching below the knees. In full dress the performer wears similarly made leggings below the knee, a button blanket or Chilkat blanket over the shoulders, and the appropriate mask or headdress.
