A vertically long silk textile features a repeating pattern of horizontal bands in navy blue, red, orange, and tan. Silhouetted figures on horseback, covered wagons, and travelers move through a stylized landscape of jagged cliffs and flat-topped hills. The design repeats vertically down the rectangular fabric, interspersed with pops of light blue. The dense composition creates a rhythmic sequence of scenes depicting movement across a rugged, layered western terrain.
