Tan-colored fabric with a gold border. The fabric features a repeating pattern of dark blue and gold designs on a tan background. The designs include birds with their wings spread, diamond shapes with dots at the corners, eight-pointed stars with a dot at the center and curved lines extending from the points, and clusters of circles. The fabric appears slightly wrinkled and has a few darker spots scattered throughout.
