Long, narrow, coarsely woven wool sash. Cloth is predominantly red, which is patterned at each end with large, off-white round symbols.

There is a dark grey-black border (about 14 cm) at each end, and the ends are trimmed with very long twisted fringes of various lengths (the longest being c. 82.5 cm), some grey-black, some red, some off-white; the fringe strands are embellished at regular intervals with small tufts of wool, made into tassels.
Indigo woven textile with black tassels at each end, and zigzag pattern with circles and rows of humanoid motifs woven in white.

In between two sets of afe are ahoma/nnonoma - "double dono drums" symbols. There are two large light-blue textile company stamps on the reverse.
