The left cord is thick and brown, while the right cord is thin and braided. Around the edge of the apron, there is a red border with blue and white in the middle. The back of the apron is completely dark blue. The bottom part of the apron has rows of white stitching in various geometric designs, including zigzags and diamond shapes. In the middle of the geometric designs, there is a row of red and yellow shapes that look like spirals with the outside edge straight. The colors alternate. There is another pattern which has red and yellow dots in between the white design. Above this, there is a hill-like pattern with anthemia underneath the highest parts of the hill. Above the hills, there are roselike patterns with a design that looks like a trident surrounding them, and a vertical red and yellow border to either side. This entire design is repeated facing downward near the top of the apron. The back of the apron is dark blue as well.
