This is a photograph of a quilt. The quilt has geometric and bird motifs. It features concentric square patterns made of smaller triangular shapes in red and cream colors. The central design is surrounded by rows of triangular shapes leading towards the center. Stylized red birds are at the borders facing alternately towards and away from the center. The quilt shows intricate stitching, balanced color use, and a traditional design.
