Shawl by Magda Szombatheli. The shawl has a rectangular shape with a patterned design, primarily tan and cream-colored. The main body of the shawl features a repeating diamond pattern in tan and cream. A border surrounds the shawl, divided into sections. The outermost sections on the left and right sides, and top and bottom, have a red background with a tan, elongated oval design. The inner border sections are tan with a small, repeating rectangular pattern. The bottom of the shawl has a row of tan-colored tassels. The shawl hangs against a white wall.
