A circular textile disc made of coiled black linen cord spirals outward from a hollow core, creating a dense, ribbed surface. Along the rim, variegated blue and green threads transition into a solid green segment. A smooth cream-colored band secures the bottom edge. These rhythmic concentric circles radiate outward, their geometric precision contrasting with the vibrant colors on the perimeter to evoke the appearance of a dark, tightly wound spool.
