Middle of part a is mainly red. Parts b and c are solid cream coloured braids. Part b's right side is wrapped in red thread. Dark blue-grey cords wrapped in intervals along right side, causing red threads to bulge through in three circular tufts. Part c's left side naturally curves downwards. Right side of part c ends in two smaller branches. Section before split and both branches wrapped in red thread with dark blue-grey cords wrapped in intervals along them.
