A rectangular textile is embroidered with repeating diagonal bands running from the bottom left toward the top right. These parallel rows are densely filled with small floral and leaf motifs in primarily muted shades of dusty red, sage green, and cream. Dark thread outlines each shape against the dark background. The uniform pattern spans the entire cloth, creating a rhythmic field of intricate botanical designs.
