The Embroidered Towel (Peshkir) is rectangular with a cream-colored background. The towel has a fringe on two long sides, the fringe is reddish-brown in color and uneven in length. The short sides have decorative elements; a pattern of embroidered flowers in blue, red, and green on a cream-colored background. The flowers are stylized and include green leaves. The corners of the towel feature a more intricate design with the same color palette. The towel appears to have some discoloration or staining in the center.
