A horizontally long beige linen cloth with a central rectangle extends seamlessly to narrower flanking rectangles, all encircled with a fringe. Dense, mustard yellow embroidery extends from either side like a background meeting at a central square point, creating a white hour-glass-like shape. The yellow is interrupted on either side by two flanking rectangles woven with web-like threads in white, pink, yellow, and blue, from which extend two outlines like quill nibs pointing in from rectangles.
