Tapa Cloth2623/47

The cloth is natural coloured, rectangular and decorated with four panels. The repeated design in each of the four panels is a central line with a circle on both ends and four lines extending from the circle. At both ends, the circle and extending lines are outlined. There are two triangles, one on either side of the central line, their tops together and pointing into the line. In each corner are two half circles. Along the inside of the borders of each panel are short lines. All designs have small gray dots along the edges of the thicker reddish-brown lines. The details of each panel are slightly different: the shading of the repeated motif or the background shading or the number of border lines. The cloth is painted on one side.
