A shield-shaped cotton bag tapers to a point, its edges adorned with dense, multicolored silk tassels. Symmetrical embroidery in red, teal, and purple forms a central vertical column of stacked diamonds. On either side, panels of repeating, stylized flower motifs break up the composition. Horizontal bands of stitching define the top opening near a long braided strap. Intricate geometric patterns and black thread outlines fill the surface with symmetrical, check-like textures.
