A long, vertically oriented mohair and horsehair embroidery features neutral-toned wavy bands. Suspended between dark wooden bars, the textured white, cream, and tan surface consists of concentric ovals, raised lines, and dense patches. Irregular organic shapes flow downward across the natural ground, framed by a dark, feathery fringe along both vertical edges. The composition creates a muted, rhythmic display of varied stitching techniques and tactile fibers.
