A horizontally long silk and metal thread textile features a repeating pattern of multicolored, long-tailed birds flying amidst green leaves. The background consists of a dense gold geometric lattice over a muted orange ground. Constructed from joined vertical strips, the cloth is punctuated by six square patches of light-colored fabric with floral and bird designs. Four squares align along the top edge, while two occupy the bottom left and right corners.
