A vertically long woven textile shawl features a solid black rectangular center. Thick borders frame this field with repetitive teardrop and leaf-like motifs in muted red, gold, and dark green. Larger versions of these pointed shapes fill wide horizontal bands at the top and bottom. Intricate floral patterns are woven into each shape using fine, colored threads. Short, dark fringe finishes the upper and lower edges.
