Two highly fragmented strips of the decorated ends of a shawl, a red band decorated with white and yellow-brown abstracted animals running across the center of the blue-black textile. Above and below the red band run white and yellow-brown organic shapes. While missing sections of the red band break off cleanly, the blue-black textile shows loosened threads in the weaving, breaking off into threads.
