This wrap has either been traded from West Timor or was based on Timorese ikat. The motifs on this wrap are not clearly identified although they are possibly related to the fowl of Insana or even the snake-like pattern seen on other designs. The central banners bear triangular teeth that repeat throughout the band. These are inset between layers of stripes rendered in red, blue and yellow.
