Multicoloured wool blanket, constructed from six narrow (about 23 cm) strips of equal length, aligned side by side, and sewn together edge to edge. Each of these strips is woven in a repeated pattern of narrow horizontal stripes, of black, red and two shades of blue, alternating with wider stripes of off-white and orange-yellow. On the right side of the blanket, the off-white and orange-yellow stripes are over-printed with repeated cross-shaped (+-shaped) motifs in red and dark blue. When sewing the strips together, no attempt was made to align the patterns, resulting in a random design. The reverse side is the same but without the cross motifs. One end of the blanket is bound with bright purple silk jacquard textile; the opposite end is bound with pale pink silk jacquard textile, and at the centre of this end, a small (10 cm) diamond shaped decorative patch made of two squares of patterned silk textile is stitched on.

Five leaf-shaped off-white shells are sewn onto the band with two on each side and one in the centre of the flower design. Three rows of light blue beads, each ending with a long white conical bead, mark the two corners where the band grows triangular, and the edges of the blue border are emphasized by a row of white beads.

Both (a) and (b) have three white ties sewn on both vertical edges (near top, at centre and near bottom) for a total of six white ties per legging.
