Description

Women's body-wrap (phi) composed of two panels stitched together on the long edge. The panels have matching patterns, but are attached so that they are mirrored. The textile has a dark red ground weave with two horizontal black bands, outlined in off-white, on either side of the centre seam. The top and bottom edges are finished with a single black band. Between the black bands are groups of three grey horizontal lines or two grey with one black centre line. The wrap is embroidered on both sides with a column of repeating horizontal green and beige lines that are stitched vertically. The columns are flanked by vertical lines in beige and dark blue-grey. Three short vertical lines in green and beige with tufts at ends are embroidered through the wide black bands on the centre seam, with a set on either side of centre, and either side of the seam. The short edge has fringe.
