This is a photograph of a textile piece. The image depicts a square textile featuring a central motif of a stag standing in a regal pose, surrounded by a floral and foliage pattern. The textile is predominantly red and white, with the stag and some floral details in a lighter shade against the red background. The border of the textile consists of geometric patterns forming a frame around the central design, and the fabric is edged with short fringe on all sides.
