Narrow rectangular piece of fabric with a woven design. The design features a repeating pattern of blue, white, and orange shapes. The blue shapes are teardrop-like with the rounded end pointing left; the orange shapes are irregular. The background appears to be grey concrete. A small white rectangle with black text reading "20.148.904" is in the bottom-right corner.
