game board

Cruciform game board made of textile, with red and blue patchwork squares, and a square of brown and cream patterned tweed in the centre. The backing cloth is plain white, with a brown square in the centre. One of the arms of the board has a cotton tie attached to it, probably to fasten the board when folded.
