content: Pieced raffia skirt. The central two panels have intricate cut pile and other embroidery in various line patterns. The border panals are natural and black-dyed raffia embroidery. Accoding to Dr. Judith Knight the black dye is iron gall. The third center panel is undyed, unembroidered raffia with a red line woven through it. There are two smaller contrasting black and brown border panels. One end of the skirt is rounded, the unembroidered section is longer than the border panels. The edging is natural and brown dyed raffia with cotton complicated edge stitch. The word "Tula" is written on the reverse.
