L-shaped cream barkcloth with stencilled decoration in black and brown. The textile appears to be part of a larger object, as some of the patterns have been cut. The decoration consists of a centre panel and 3 borders on both shorter sides. The panel contains 5 sections. One of these consists of a centre rectangular field and 5 borders. The other half of the centre panel is divided into four stripes. The widest one consists of 3 rectangular bands and a square field. The overall borders consist of a stripe containing linked diamond motifs, smaller solidly coloured stripes, and a stripe consisting of short bands.
