Rectangular, tabby-woven cotton textile (adire) decorated with tie-dye patterns on an indigo blue ground. The textile has been sewn together from 6 narrow strips to create the overall width. It has been hemmed on both shorter sides. The decoration consists of stripes containing 2 lines of small rectangles (more of less resisted), separated and framed by resisted stripes. Some of the machine stitching used to create the resist is still attached to the cloth.
