A thick, circular disk of linen and cork strips features intense green linen coiled in a dense spiral. Arcs of white linen break the concentric green rings on either side, creating rhythmic patterns across the surface. Near the bottom left, a short black segment sits between white bands. A flat white strap encircles the outer edge, binding the ribbed, textured layers together into a uniform, wheel-like form.
