Three zones are distinguished in this tapestry. The lower section is composed of a black band representing the earth, a broad blue line; a color that refers to water, the source of fertility, and brown line signifying fertile land strewn with plantations represented by small vertical lines. The rhombus within a rhombus symbolizes birth and fertility, representative also of a mountain referring to the human being. The sky is represented by a juxtaposition of light and dark yellow bands.
