A circular woven textile piece features tightly wound concentric rings of linen wrapped around cork strips, radiating from a small central opening. Intense red and dark purple fibers alternate to create a vibrant, ribbed texture across the flat surface. An off-white linen band encircles the outermost edge, secured by a small wooden tab on the right. The repetitive pattern emphasizes the rhythmic intersection of color within the disc-like form.
