The large field (badan) on this textile is filled with squares divided into triangles, emulating patchwork. They are filled with animals (deer, birds, a crab, and a turtle) and flowers. The head (kepala) has white, red, and green triangles filled with plants, as well as squares filled with birds and flowering vases. —RB
