This is a painting of a decorative textile pattern with colored threads including pink, blue, green, white, and brown. The pattern includes a bird-like design with outstretched wings, holding arrows in one foot and leafy branches in the other foot. The background is made up of small, repeated floral patterns. A border framing the design features simple leaf-like motifs in alternating colors. The painting is in the center of the page, surrounded by beige paper.
