This length of twill weave wool is roller-printed in red, green and blue with repeating sprays of hibiscus flowers on a chocolate-brown ground. The top and bottom edges are machine hemmed but the widths are unhemmed selvedges. A large damaged section has been basted together with running and overhand stitches.
