The fabric has a red background with a gold border that consists of connected spirals or scrolls. Inside the border, a figure is depicted in shades of gold, green, and blue. The figure appears to have wings and is wearing a crown or headdress. The figure's right arm is raised, and its left arm is extended downward. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with frayed edges. The background of the image is off-white.
