A square indigo-blue wool and cotton textile is patterned with a dense, repeating grid of symmetrical cream-colored floral medallions containing central stars. Small white dots speckle the dark ground. Stylized trees form side borders, while the bottom edge features eagles with spread wings alternating with taller trees. In the lower corners, rectangular blocks contain woven text and dates.
