The banded and geometric design of this three panel fabric is composed of small motifs predominantly red and white over a purple-black background, created by overdyeing the red morinda roots and the blue indigo. Each side has narrower bands identical to the ones in the middle panel. This soft double ikat was produced in the Muslim region of Ende where motifs are predominantly abstract.
