A square woven silk textile with a rounded corner features a cream-colored field framed by a wide L-shaped border. Dense, repeating teardrop paisleys in deep red, teal, and blue weave along the bottom and right edges. Delicate cream-colored fringe borders these vibrant sections, while a lone tassel extends from the top left. A ghost-like, faded impression of the ornate pattern traces the remaining upper and left perimeters.
