A horizontal rectangular beige tapestry has two horizontal bands on the top and bottom, each ended by a vertical dark blue or purple rectangle. In the same color, a design of horizontally interlocking vines creates four circles in each band, containing two animals in each circle, one larger animal in the background and a smaller one in the foreground. The first three circles from the left, in both bands, show the animals facing the right, while the rightmost circles show the animals facing to the left. Among the animals depicted seem to be rabbits, goats, gazelles, and felines. Their open mouths show their tongues in red.
