A rectangular machine-printed white cotton cloth (kanga), with a continuous patterned border of yellow, black and red floral motifs, enclosing a central red rectangle with small, repeating 'rain-drop' motifs in white and black, and eight large yellow roundels containing red floral motifs with 'chrysanthemum' centres and 'cashew' petals. Just above the centre of the lower border is an inscription in Kiswahili written in the Roman script: SINA SIRI NINA JIBU "I have no secrets but I have an answer."
