content: Textile made from 2 long strips of cloth, sewn together selvedge-to-selvedge. Both are weft-faced plain weave, with handspun single-ply Z-spun cotton thread. White ground with dark blue (indigo), light blue, and red weft stripes. One area with eccentric (diagonal) wefts, creating a zig-zag /triangle pattern. One end cut. Other end has loosely twisted fringe. One selvedge has cut threads stitched through it, as if there was once another strip sewn to it what was later cut off. Very similar to E432148 and E432150.
