A horizontally long woven cotton textile features a dark blue central field filled with a repetitive grid of small, four-pointed cream and red floral shapes. On each side, wide red panels contain rows of tall, white triangular points directed toward the center. These patterns are finished at the far ends by thick red sections and narrow dark borders. Thin, patterned bands frame the top and bottom edges of the cloth.
