DescriptionSling in green and white braid looped at one end, tassel at the other. Where sling widens, the green and white form a border. A second braided area in red and white repeats a rhomboid pattern that splits into two sections of six wrapped cords in lavender, green, red, and black forming a pattern of elongated triangles.
