An ivory-colored circular cotton textile, rendered in needle lace and weaving, is framed by a dense fringed border. Three trees with thick trunks and splaying limbs divide the composition, sheltering a row of small houses at the base. Stylized human figures stand among the trunks, one with arms raised. Intricate geometric webs and circular floral lace motifs fill the negative space, creating a dense, layered narrative across the fiber.
