A square woven wool textile features dense, swirling patterns in muted red, blue, and gold threads. A black multi-pointed star sits at the center, radiating outward. Four large, elongated teardrop shapes in the corners point toward the middle. A decorative border of small, colorful panels with pointed tops frames the inner field. Short, multicolored fringe lines the outer edges. Intricate, interlocking designs create a symmetrical, highly detailed composition across the entire surface.
