A horizontally long woven wool textile features a deep red central field filled with small, repeating yellow and green floral motifs. On the left, a pointed scalloped arch encloses dense floral designs on a white background. Multi-layered borders frame the composition, showcasing prominent zigzag patterns in green, gold, and blue. Small floral motifs repeat within narrow outermost borders, while the edges appear slightly frayed.
