label: Notes
content: Barkcloth painting with black geometric designs. The central image is a black diamond with a negative design, possibly of a flower. The painting is bordered by a thin black band and pairs of triangles at regular intervals. Surrounding the central image are four secondary designs, each consisting of three circles arranged in a triangular pattern with three sets of chevrons. One edge of the painting has four panels of geometric designs in alternating similar but not identical pairs. The central image is quite badly smudged and the back of the painting is covered in a mesh fabric.
