The textile "Ceremonial or summer floor cover" by the artist is rectangular with a green border around the edge. The border is red and blue with a black and white checkerboard pattern along the inside. The border contains a repeating pattern of blue circles with gray, black and white bulls' skulls and pink bows with a yellow center. The interior of the textile has a black background and a repeating floral pattern with white, red and yellow flowers and green leaves. The center of the textile features a yellow and gray spotted lion facing right with a long tail attacking a white animal with large horns on a blue background. There are two white horses with riders wearing red shirts and blue pants and hats with yellow trim on either side of the lion. The lion, the white animals and the horses are surrounded by four white spotted dogs, gray birds and two yellow spotted animals. The lions, dogs and spotted yellow animals are depicted in various running positions.
