A vertically long printed linen textile features a grid of rectangles in mustard yellow, rust red, and black. Within each block, fine white lines form various abstract, runic-like geometric symbols. The blocks are arranged in a staggered, rhythmic pattern across the surface. Plain white margins at the top and bottom contain printed black inscriptions, including the designer's name. A small circular logo marks the bottom-left corner.
