15 pattern-woven strips joined selvedge to selvedge by whip stitching to create a larger cloth; all strips have white, red, orange, blue, orange, red, white striped warps and blue primary wefts; three-unit blocks of weft faced patterning and brocading are equidistantly spaced within each strip; five-unit groups of abutting patterned blocks are woven at the ends of each strip; the strips have been planned and woven so the three-unit blocks are alternating to form a checker board-type pattern when stitched together selvedge to selvedge and the five-unit abutting patterned blocks create borders along the top and bottom edges of the cloth; the top and bottom edges are un-hemmed, ending in a short fringe; a fragment of blue lined paper with partial manuscript inscription "�domeih" written in blue ball point pen ink is stapled to one corner of the cloth.
