Black and white image of rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is light-colored, with a slightly wrinkled texture. The pattern features alternating circular and floral motifs in rows. The circular motifs are ornate with swirling designs. The floral motifs include flowers, leaves, and insects such as butterflies and beetles. The insects and flowers are scattered throughout the fabric, with some appearing to emerge from the circular motifs. The overall design is intricate and detailed, with a mix of curved and straight lines. The image by Sleeve Band.
