A vertically long cream wool sash features a solid upper section bordered by a thin red top edge with corner yarn ties. The decorative base contains horizontal bands of brown and white zigzags, navy stripes, and two red diamonds with lattice interiors. At the bottom, a thick, textured red band sits above a cream fringe, with red cloth strips extending from the lower corners to complete the geometric composition.
