Inside the border, there are several diagonal stripes, some solid and some striped, in a lighter brown color. The stripes intersect and overlap, creating a layered effect. Scattered throughout the design are small floral patterns, including stems with leaves and flowers. The background of the object is a light brown and white checkered pattern, composed of small dots. The title of the work is "Stencil" and it is created by an unknown artist.
