This is an image of a patterned strip of fabric. The fabric has a repeating pattern of vibrant yellow birds on a dark background, possibly black or deep blue. The birds are stylized and detailed, depicted in a flying position. The strip is positioned horizontally across the image, slightly diagonal from left to right. The background contrasts with the bright yellow color of the birds.
