The bottom of the shawl has a densely packed intricate design with curved patterns. The border on the bottom and sides of the shawl features red, white, and black colors. The shawl appears to be made of fabric, possibly wool or silk. The background behind the shawl is a solid white wall. The shawl hangs in front of the wall, casting a slight shadow.
