A vertically long woven wool textile features a vibrant coral red center with mirrored floral patterns. Large teardrop-shaped motifs filled with intricate vegetal designs in muted brown, tan, and red fan across the surface, creating a dense, interlocking weave of organic shapes. A delicate patterned border frames the entire piece, while short, multicolored fringes in shades of rust, sage, and blue hang from the top and bottom edges.
