Square black cotton shawl with medium length fringe on all four sides. The fringe has two rows of decorative knotting which crisscrosses the threads into diamond patterns and the fringe then extends from the last row of knots. On one end there is a band composed of single olive green threads that are woven into the fabric and extend from one end of the fringe to the other. There are approximately twenty-one rows of olive green threads.
