Woman's wrap (capulana) made of cotton. A rectangle of orange cotton is printed with a repeating pattern of a photograph (surrounded by red and yellow flowers with green stems) of a woman holding a baby alternating with the words JOSINA MACHEL, above the Mozambique coat of arms and flag, and above the words: A SAUDOSA MAMÁ DA NAÇÃO. Referring to Josina Machel, this translates as 'late lamented mother of the nation'. There is a red, yellow and blue geometric border along top and bottom.
