This blanket from the collection is woven using plain weave – locally known as liniston – with colored yarns used for both the warp and weft that create thick and thin stripes. Meanwhile, the stripes design is locally called as kantarinis or tinartaros which, when applied to blankets, translates as a “banderado”, or a banded blanket with stripes of a minimal color scheme (Respicio , 2015). It is also characterized by a multiple combination of striped bands on a white background design. Banderado textiles are among the most popular blankets used by Ilocano fisher folks and wet rice cultivators (Respicio, 2015)

In this textile, green, red, and yellow bands are placed on a white background with zoomorphic embroideries identified as sinan-tokak or dancing frogs and embroidered joineries that feature sinan-ramay or finger-like design. Embroidery is an observed weaving tradition among Itneg or Tinguian people, with motifs ranging from frogs (tokak), rice plants (pagay), mountains, and finger-like (sinan-ramay) or nails (sinan-koko) embroidery. Meanwhile, the banderado is an “identified Ilocano weave”, which makes this blanket a combination of both the Ilocano and Itneg weaving tradition.
