Woven bodice. The garment is a long piece of intricately patterned woven wool, wide at centre and narrowing toward ends. The patterns are linear and triangular shapes and motifs in red, black, yellow and white. A braid in the same colours is attached at the top to create shoulder straps. The bodice fastens at the back with a strip of velcro. The interior edges are lined with thin strips of a stiff, loose-weave, polyester fabric.

Trapezoidal-shaped backrest (a) made of thin willow rods tied together with sinew and edged with red wool cloth. The top of the backrest has a "handle" of deer hide covered with red wool cloth that hangs down in two bands that are woven into the top of the backrest. The handle is used to suspend the backrest from a tripod of wood sticks (b). Condition: good. Some soiling on wool cloth.
