The image displays an arrangement of rectangular and braided shapes placed vertically and horizontally on a textured surface. Rows of small, colorful rectangles form a pattern resembling cobblestone streets. The shapes are organized in three vertical bands, with a section of interwoven, braided shapes at the bottom. Earth tones, reds, and blues are used in the composition.
