The image depicts a long, rectangular textile with a central black diamond surrounded by a symmetrical pattern. The textile's background is primarily reddish-brown with gray and brown accents. The central black diamond is outlined with a brown and gray design. Above and below the central diamond are four symmetrical, teardrop-shaped motifs with a gray and brown design on a reddish-brown background. The sides of the textile feature long, narrow vertical designs within rectangular borders. The top and bottom of the textile have a row of multicolored tassels. The tassels are arranged in a repeating sequence of red, white, blue, green, yellow, and black. The textile hangs on a gray wall with a white floor visible below. The image showcases the work of Emile Frederic Herbert, specifically the piece titled Long Shawl with Botehs, Black Center, and Lobed Arcades.
