The woven textile is irregularly shaped with a striped pattern. The stripes are white, red, yellow, brown and all separated by dark blue stripes in varying widths. The blue warp threads are visible creating a subtle checkered appearance with the stripes.

The lighter brown forms a wide band along the top, a partial triangle at the bottom and serves as background in the middle section. In the middle of the textile the darker shade of brown is woven in double lined diagonals with a repeated motif in the centre of the lines. The top edge is finished, the other three edges are frayed.
