Brown fabric with gold and blue designs. The fabric has a rectangular shape with a thin border around it. The main design on the fabric features two birds in the top center, surrounded by floral patterns and other shapes. The background of the fabric is a solid brown color, while the designs are gold and blue. The designs are intricate and appear to be woven into the fabric. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication. "Piece" by artist Alphonse Mucha.
