A cotton textile features a dark indigo border framing a central white field. Fifteen thin blue lines vertically intercept the white area, displaying soft, feathered edges where the pigment bleeds into the cloth. The indigo is most saturated where these lines bleed into the horizontal margins. Along the left vertical edge, the textile appears slightly frayed. The composition creates a rhythmic series of elongated white rectangles.
