The left and right sections have a darker brown background with a blue and gold design resembling leaves or branches. The center sections have a lighter brown background with a subtle pattern. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of brown, gold, and blue. The artwork appears to be a textile or fabric piece, possibly a sample or a design for a larger textile.
