Rectangular cloth with beige plain weave fabric and cut-pile(?) embroidered geometric designs. The pattern is hexagonal or honeycomb-like, with each hexagon form filled with concentric shapes, and a centre that is either deep red or golden orange colour. The hexagons are outlined and divided by a dark brownish-grey line. Long fringe is knotted around entire cloth in alternating sections of dark brown and yellow-brown fibres. Two large safety pins are attached along one short end on the backside of the cloth.
