The skirt is decorated with small appliqued linear and curvilinear shaped designs, irregularly distributed. The applique designs are the same color as the cloth itself. CONDITION: Good. Some weakening of fibers and staining in some areas. A few applique motifs have been stitched over areas where the cloth has worn through. There is slight discoloration due to age.
