Rectangular cream barkcloth painted with black and yellow pigment. Three sides of the textile are finished with cut dentate edging. Each triangle is patterned with thin lines or lattice. The decoration divides the tapa into wider and narower stripes. The narrow stripes are patterned with zigzags, reciprocate dentate pattern or linked diamond motifs. The wider stripes are subdivided twice into smaller rectangles, and then divided into nine squares to each rectangular area. Each small rectangular area is patterned the same throughout. The ones next to the long dentate edge contain chevron patterns.
