As is typical, this blanket is composed of two sections joined down the centre. The textile has red warp and weft yarns. The main section of the cloth has blue supplementary wefts woven in a swastika pattern that is called a "key" design ('kachae'). The end panel is decorated with continuous and discontinuous weft yarns in green, pink, gold, pale yellow, and cream colours. There are also metal-wrapped threads to give the textile an expensive appearance. The designs include diamonds, nests of diamonds, and a stylised floral motif. There is also a fringe-like pattern ('soi saa') that relates to Thai and Cambodian textile designs.
