Rectangular, tabby-woven, woollen textile decorated with cream-coloured, light turquoise and blue-black stripes. The textile has a light-coloured stripe along the selvedges on both shorter sides. The longer sides have been hemmed by machine. The patterning is created by alternating blue-black, and cream warp. The extended tabby used in parts of the lighter coloured stripes creates small checks.
