Rectangular, sandy-brown hanging textile with white and brown feathers woven into the center. There is fringe at the ends and horizontal bars at the top and bottom woven into the piece adding texture, most of the piece being a densely woven, even surface. In contrast, the central area of the piece has wider weavings columns on the left and right that create rows stacked on top of each other. There is a column of thick weave rows near the bottom as well, and along each, the feathers just meet the edge of each. The feathers and thick rows are arranged like a square without a top line.
