Each section contains a repeating design of brown leaves on a beige background, with two horizontal blue lines and a brown line with an X shape in the middle. The fabric is placed on a light-colored wood surface, possibly a table or board. The image has a small red stamp in the top-right corner with the numbers "9101-91'96".
