A vertical rectangular textile of natural tan linen features a densely woven body of horizontal ridges set between shaggy top fringes and long, straight bottom strands. In the upper center, three dark cylindrical beads form a downward-pointing triangle. A thin wooden rod is threaded horizontally through the weave above the lower fringe. The uniform fibers create a consistent texture throughout, broken only by the minimalist bead arrangement and structural support.
