A woven textile with a brown band displaying geometric zigzag patterns in orange, blue, and red is featured on a neutral beige background. The color palette includes earthy tones, with accents of vibrant orange, blue, and red in the zigzag shapes against the dark brown strip. Against a light cream background, the textile is centered, with the lower edge slightly folded. The textile runs horizontally with the pattern in the middle section. The artist's signature, Ethel Dooyan, is seen in small text on the lower right.
