The patterns consist of zigzag and triangular shapes in white and dark blue hues, creating a dynamic contrast. Two large cross-like motifs in muted blue-gray are symmetrically positioned near the top and bottom centers. These motifs are set against vertical zigzag lines. The textile is symmetrical on each side, with intricate triangle patterns aligning vertically. The edges of the textile are bordered with thin lines in darker shades.
