This blanket is handwoven using pinilian, a supplementary weft technique that employs pili (sticks) to select specific warp threads. A thicker weft yarn, inserted with a double-horn-edged shuttle called sikkuan, interlocks with the selected threads to form the motif (Respicio, 2015). This textile specifically utilizes the continuous supplementary weft technique, a variant method in weaving pinilian designs.

The central motif featured in this blanket is the crab-like design, locally known as sinan-agatul. Notably, Cole (1922) illustrated a similar motif, which the Itneg identified as representing a crab. The panels of this blanket are joined using a relatively simple joinery compared to those found in other pinilian blankets. Meanwhile, the blanket’s borders are embroidered with white threads that resemble a half-figure version of the kuko (fingernail) motif.
