The leaves and stem are positioned at an angle across the upper half of the fabric. The lower portion features a brown rounded shape with spikey brown leaves extending from it. Below the leaves and stem are blue and white vertical stripes resembling a fence or railing. The colors used in the design include beige, dark green, blue-green, orange, brown, blue, and white.
