food cloth
A ceremonial food cloth with red and white thread stripes. The cloth has white fringe on both ends. There are three brocade bands running parallel to the thread stripes of the base cloth, each comprised of two pink stripes separated by a green stripe. One of the bands spans across the center of the cloth, while the other two bands are brocaded halfway between the center of the cloth and its fringed ends. Running parallel to the center band is a series of brocaded dashes in various colors (green, pink, green, red, red). Running parallel to the other side of the dashes is a thin line of pink stitches.
