The top and bottom have a thin red and yellow border. The top section features three ovals with human figures. Below that are two rectangles: the top one shows two human figures flanking a horse-drawn carriage on a dark green background; the bottom one shows two human figures flanking a horse-drawn carriage on a dark green background. The central section features a large yellow eagle with outstretched wings on a dark green background. The bottom section features three ovals with human figures. The entire textile is decorated with various geometric patterns, including diamonds, triangles, and zigzags, in shades of red, yellow, cream, and dark green. The edges are frayed.
