The pattern consists of interconnected curved lines that form a series of rounded shapes. The fabric has a textured appearance, with the blue and gold threads woven together to create a intricate design. The edges of the fabric are rough and uneven, with a thin border around the outside that is lighter in color. The border is a lighter blue-gray color with a rough texture. The overall effect is one of intricate detail and ornate decoration. The image is set against a plain white background.
