A shield-shaped white cotton bag is intricately embroidered with vibrant silk threads in red, blue, green, and orange. Vertical columns of diamond and zigzag patterns fill the rectangular body, while smaller geometric motifs decorate the pointed base. Thick, multicolored tassels fringe the top and side edges, mirroring the vivid embroidery. A long, thin braided cord handle extends from the top, completing this symmetrical composition of dense patterning against a white ground.
