(UEM49211) The background cloth is black, much thinner and not hidden by the embroidered work as in the others in the series.No border but a thin line of embroidery outlines the embroidered section from the edges. Each panel of the blanket is divided into twelve sections giving impression of a grid. There is an over all pattern of repeated stylised motifs in rows. Unidentifiable motifs are possibly sheeves of grass, huts, comb-like motif, timeglass motif also plants and ferns. Spreading over both panels of the blanket/over the middle seam are circles in which there are flowers and other unidentifiable motifs
