A vertically long woven wool and jute belt features a dark red background for fine off-white threads that form repeating geometric sequences. Stylized human-like figures, four-legged animals, and stacked triangles alternate along the length, separated by rectangular maze-like patterns. Short multicolored fringes of white, red, and dark threads finish both ends. The intricate motifs create a sharp contrast against the solid primary color of the textile.
