Apparently of silk, the large textile with outer bands with textured compartments; the body of the cloth in opposing red, green and blue striped boxes against complex multicolored vertical compartments with some geometric designs. Areas of damage where the strips have come apart and some damage where the textile appears to have been chewed or eaten. Overall superb example.
Provenance: Property of a New York private collector
