content: Intricate raffia skirt made of red twool panels with wrapped warp in places. Other panels are pieced squares of white and black raffia in a checkerboard pattern; some have one side facing front, and the other has the opposite side. The edging is raffia with raffia pompoms or balls sewn to the edge. The surface decoration is of both strings of black seed beads with cowries sewn on in a zigzag pattern, and ribbons of raffia in light and dark brown, cut to look like cut pile embroidery and machine sewn.
