A vertically long woven textile in muted salmon, gray, and red features dense, intricate patterns. Large, symmetrical teardrop motifs with curving, vine-like outlines flow across the surface, surrounding a small black four-pointed star at the center. Intricate, swirling lines create a rich texture throughout the cloth. A horizontal seam divides the lower section, while top and bottom edges are finished with a multicolored fringe of small rectangular blocks.
