A vertically oriented velvet panel is patterned with repetitive, narrow stripes of terracotta orange and muted blue. Alternating with these are wider cream bands, each containing a vertical row of small, nested, downward-pointing arrowheads in shades of green, purple, and blue. The plush surface has a subtle sheen, while some areas of the warm, earthy colors appear slightly faded across the vertical length.
