This textile preserves five rows of aligned, tangent roundels with four in each row. Each roundel contains a front-facing harpy with a checkered body and stylized plant forms surrounding it. Interspaces are filled with small roundels tangential to the design. Each small roundel encloses an eight-pointed star within which is a square ornamented with four centered pearls. Interstices are filled with stylized plant forms.
