Tapa Cloth2947/5

Large brown tapa cloth decorated with geometric designs in black and light brown. The linear designs create four chevron-like patterns bisected by a column of circles. These circles alternate between pairs of black and medium brown dots. The cloth is organized into five rows of two long rectangles. All four sides are bordered by a black line. Two sides have an addition border of alternating black and medium brown triangles against a light brown base. The vertical line at the cloth’s centre is framed on both sides by the same triangular pattern.
