Blanket or Cover (Kaasa)
The Kaasa, a traditional textile, features a cream-colored fabric with a repeating pattern of dark brown, maroon, and white designs. Two long, maroon-colored vertical stripes run along the left and right sides. The main body of the Kaasa showcases three central columns of intricate patterns, each consisting of stacked geometric shapes, including triangles and diamonds. These patterns are adorned with smaller, detailed designs. Flanking the central columns are smaller, symmetrical designs. The fabric's edges are slightly frayed and uneven.
