A vertically long, off-white silk and cotton cloth is bordered with intricate, muted tan and brown floral patterns. Wide horizontal bands at the top and bottom feature repeating teardrop-shaped motifs, while a narrower border frames the central rectangular field. The fabric displays a fine, horizontal ribbed texture. Several dark, irregular holes puncture the left side of the center, marking the aged textile with signs of wear against its delicate, repetitive ornamentation.
