DescriptionNearly square, white patchwork cloth with a strap angled diagonally from one corner. The ramie fiber has a course, linen-like sheer plainweave, while the strap and one side band have a finer, sheer, weave. The patchwork is done with long rectangular strips at the edges. There are larger, mostly square and rectangular pieces on the "top and bottom" bands, and smaller, mostly triangular pieces in the six narrower, central bands. Machine sewn.
