A cotton and camelid fiber textile laid out vertically features a solid, deep reddish-brown main body with visible weave texture and dark stains. Along the top, a horizontal band of lighter brown tapestry weave showcases vertical divisions and rows of small, repeated U-shaped motifs. A short, frayed fringe lines the upper border, while a small white spot punctuates the lower left, reflecting the weathered and aged condition of the fabric.
