Uneven vertical stripe of black and tan. The warp is of black cotton and heavy undyed bast fiber. The black cotton wefts are interlaced singly with the black warp, but interlaced in pairs with the natural warp. The effect is of bands of dense black alternating with stripes of speckled black and tan.
