Cuff Band: Dancers

View through Harvard Museums
Two parallel bands with simplified, buff-colored dancing figures against indigo background. Red and yellow yarns used for details of dancers; red and yellow are used for hair, facial features, anklets and bracelets. Each band has a border of buff wave scrolls against a blue background. Blue stripes extend up from the intact ends of the bands. Probably a cuff band.
