Horizontal, rectangular piece. On a maroon background are three strings of gold Arabic script on narrow, white, vertical lines arranged evenly all over the background. The edges are finished with a hem and it is lined with an ocher supporting fabric.

The space is divided into squares, alternating plant spirals and Kufic script with geometric braids with a clear Eastern Arabic influence.
