A square off-white linen textile features a repeating grid pattern created by densely woven horizontal and vertical bands. These lines intersect to form rectangular sections across the surface. Reddish-brown stains are scattered primarily on the right side, while a horizontal crease extends from the middle left. The four edges appear slightly uneven and frayed.
