Five horizontally long strips of beige cloth are embroidered with red and black patterns with similar, simplified shapes. Four fragments are about a third of the size of the top one. Repeating abstract flowers made from squares are mirrored on upper and lower bands. The central band is patterned with three alternating geometric shapes. One appears like an abstract peacock, another flowers in a vase.
