Cobija woven from wool. The colours that are used for this cobija are mainly black and white with pink, yellow, brown, green and purple accents. The cobija consists of two parts that are attached to each other with the coloured wool, leaving an opening in the middle. The parts consist of a wide plane with black and white diagonal stripes and on both sides of this plane there is a wide white band, on the outside the band is wider than on the inside and it is intersected by a narrow band with the same pattern as the center (diagonal lines). On the short sides of the cobija the black and white pattern is different, here the lines run parallel to the edge, on one part of the cobija the black has been replaced by brown. Also on the short sides of the cobija two stripes are running in the colours orange and pink. The short sides end in tassels in black and white. This cobija has a hole in the middle to put the head through, the cobija can be worn like this and because of the thickness of the wool it provides a lot of warmth. Judging by the colour and size of the cobija it's meant for men.
