A circular linen and cork textile features flat strips coiled into a tight spiral around a central hole. The strips are wrapped in dyed threads of deep blue, bright teal, forest green, and earthy brown, punctuated by yellow segments. These colors alternate to form concentric rings with a fine, ribbed texture. A light-colored band wraps the outer edge, securing the varied hues.
