Visual puzzle!

I pulled this out of the compost pile yesterday. I am ridiculously proud and think it's totally neato.

But what is it?
I think it looks a bit like a set of prayer flags.


This is one of the "flags" - what does it look like?


And this?




Answer: it's all the polyester parts of a pair of J. Crew cotton chinos. Everything else just rotted right out of it - including the cotton fabric from each beltloop.

I have compost fu!
