content: Wide, handwoven strip of unbleached cotton cloth. Balanced plain weave with a wide decorative band of brightly-colored weft stripes woven into each end. Short twisted fringe. Donor says "this piece of fabric is typically used as a sash tied at the waist to give some shape to a sack-like woman's dress. This traditional dress shape is quite functional – a woman can continue to wear it throughout her pregnancies."
