There are two symmetrical patterns, one on each side of the central area. Each pattern consists of a series of concentric borders and shapes. The borders feature repeating motifs in white, yellow, green, blue and purple. The shapes include diamonds, squares and X's. The patterns are mirrored on either side of the central area. The textile has a fringe along the long edges. The fringe consists of thin, pink threads. The textile titled 'Silk Veil' by the artist is likely to be a traditional or cultural textile piece.
