Within these wider stripes or borders on each side of the blanket are large colorful embroidered motifs including elephants and motifs consisting of four small solid white circles around a solid red circle separated by diamond shapes of red, yellow and green surrounded by flattened circular outlines forms of multiple colors ofthread. Other unidentified motifs are also found alternating with these. The figures are worked primarily in satin stitches and surface satin stitches in red, green, yellow, and white embroidery threads. On either side of these figures are three yellow/gold and two red stripes. The center of the shawl consists of a wide black field with small embroidered figures of elephants, cocks, tigers (?), and other figures also worked in white, red, green, and yellow colored threads. The long sides of the shawl are selvages. The short ends are finished in warp fringes several inches long. Before the fringes at each end is an ornamental multicolored band several inches wide composed of weft twinned stripes of white, red, yellow, blue, red and white, blue, yellow, red, and white treads with cut fringes on the ends and in the center of the piece. These bands are fringed both at the ends and in the middle of the strip. The cloth is woven in one width rather than in shorter widths.
