Four horizontal fragments of woven cotton are stacked vertically, each displaying a band of interlocking geometric patterns. Stepped diagonals in dark brown, reddish-pink, and cream repeat across the center. Below each pattern, a wider section of yellowish-tan cloth terminates in a long, unevenly frayed fringe. The jagged edges on either side indicate that these strips are sections of a larger textile.
