The image shows a square, white textile with a symmetrical pattern. The textile has a fringe around all edges. The fringe consists of short, thin strips of fabric. The main body of the textile features a raised, embroidered design in the center. The central design is a geometric pattern with eight pointed shapes. The shapes are surrounded by a border of wavy lines and geometric patterns. The border is made up of several concentric lines. The lines are decorated with various patterns. The background of the image is dark gray. The textile appears to be a Bolton type counterpane.
