Rectangle of fabric with frayed edges. The fabric is red and gray. The fabric is decorated with a design in the shape of a large teardrop with a stem and a flower-like pattern inside. There are two large teardrop shapes on the fabric; one pointing up and one pointing down. The teardrops are outlined with a rope-like pattern and decorated on the inside with a flower-like design. There are leaves and flowers throughout the fabric in a curving vine-like pattern. The leaves are long and thin, some with pointed tips and others with rounded tips. The fabric has a thick border around the edge that matches the red color. The background behind the fabric is gray.
