A vertically long woven textile shawl with dense, symmetrical patterns in reddish-orange, brown, and tan. A small black diamond marks the center, framed by radiating floral borders. Tall arched columns along the sides contain large, repeating teardrop shapes with fine, interlocking details. At the top and bottom, small multicolored fringe tassels in shades of white, red, green, and blue line the edges of the ornate composition.
