Red fabric with embroidered gold, beige, peach-colored, blue, and green designs. The fabric is rectangular with an elaborate floral design in the center. The center design features a large flower with long stems and leaves. Above the flower, there is a red section with Armenian text. The central design is surrounded by a gold border with a floral pattern. The border is then surrounded by eight red sections, each containing a floral design with a vase. The outer edge of the fabric has a gold border with a leafy pattern. The overall design is ornate and intricate, suggesting that it is an Armenian liturgical curtain.
