Woven wool textile. Small textile is rectangular in shape, bottom corners rounded, with an un-patterned weave. Decoration is a series of parallel lines of varying widths in shades of red, dark red-orange, dark blue, and tan, with the tan areas holding images of horses, birds, large cats(?), foliage, pinwheels and other motifs. The colouring is reversed on the back of the textile. A short fringe decorates three of the edges.
