A long, white cotton textile is laid out vertically, its flat band folding sharply at the top before dividing into four narrow strips. Each strip features a section of densely coiled thread, creating small horizontal ridges. These transition into loosely twisted cords with frayed ends. The uniform white structure balances smooth weaving with intricate, three-dimensional details against a dark, neutral background.
