Piece by Artist: Rectangular fabric with a predominantly blue background and gold-colored patterns. The fabric is divided into sections by two wide vertical stripes, one on the left and one on the right edges, and three horizontal stripes. The vertical stripes are light brown with a textured pattern. The blue sections have an intricate gold floral design. A thin gold stripe borders the edges of the two vertical stripes. The fabric's texture appears woven or embroidered. A small handwritten number is at the bottom left and a typed number is at the bottom right. The background behind the fabric is off-white.
