Blues here are greenish and faded.
Main cord is S-plied dark tan, plied at left and severed at right. Measures 7 inches, 18 centimeters with a light brown subsidiary main cord, almost as large, plied through its own ply. In this way, they are interlocked and become one main cord. The light brown section has a knotted end and measures 10 / 25.5 for a total main cord length of 17 / 43.5.
The so-called "blue" strings may have originally been dyed green (as they now appear).
Very large knot values, but a lot of broken strings, so perhaps not possible to analyze numbers.
