Vertical, rectangular piece. It has jagged edges and five holes to the left hand side. Green background with bands decorated with purple geometric motifs composed of two slanted lines that form an obtuse angle, like an awning over two volutes at either end. At each edge of the awning is a stem, also crowned with two swirls that lean against the outer edge of the next motif. These are repeated throughout, overlapping each other evenly and regularly.

The design is reminiscent of the Nazca and Paracas Inca cultures, although the colors are more in line with Oriental taste.
