Pinilian blankets are known to feature various motifs, often inspired by nature—such as this particular blanket with floral-inspired designs commonly seen in Itneg textiles. According to Respicio (2000), these may reflect the abundance of flora species before the destruction caused by American and Japanese forces during the war in the area (p. 91). Other Itneg textiles depict flowers of cotton balls, ampalaya, guava, sesame, busilak, and bulala (Respicio, 2000).

In Northern Luzon, diamond-shaped designs are traditionally interpreted as mata-mata, or eyes. At times, they may also symbolize rice grains (Respicio, 2000). Meanwhile, the blanket’s panels are joined together by intricate white embroidery in the sinan-ramay, or finger-like design, identified by Cole (1922). White triangular embroidery also runs along all four sides to secure the edges of the blanket.
