In the initial preparation of the baan ni kaina, when the leaves are harvested as young green leaves, they produce the golden yellow colour. When harvested as old leaves, the processed strips are brown in colour. The two coloured types are woven into a pattern of diagonal stripes across the surface of this kie. The ends of the strips have been tied off along its long sides. At one corner edge the bann ni kaina has been woven into a loop attachment.
