The image shows an off-white rectangular textile with colorful embroidery. The rectangular textile is wider than it is tall and has frayed edges. The top and bottom edges of the textile are bordered with a repeating pattern of black-outlined arches containing various colorful floral patterns. The center section features a repeating pattern of interconnected floral motifs in shades of red, yellow, green, blue, and orange. The motifs are outlined with black embroidery and include stylized flowers, leaves, and birds. The textile is laid flat against a gray background, providing a neutral contrast to the vibrant colors of the embroidery. The title of the image is "Border Strips of a Skirt".
