Irregularly shaped fragment of a woven shawl with a repeating paisley pattern in predominately red, orange, and tan hues. The pattern consists of columns of mirrored images of stylized floral arrangements. Curled overlapping branches and flowers fill all areas between the columns. Featured across the center are three teardrop shaped paisley cones with a hooked curl at top. Two dark vertical lines filled with stylized floral and paisley shapes create a border on the right side of the textile. The right side of the fragment is cut diagonally to the right. The top is cut diagonally downward. The two sides form a ninety-degree angle at top right. Bottom right is a squared off with a horizontal and vertical line connected at a ninety-degree angle. All edges are frayed.

Each embroidered cone has a flowering bulbous base culminating in a curvilinear, hooked tip and extend the height of the fragment. They are filled with red, blue, and tan flowers connected by green branches and leaves gathered into a small vase at bottom. Each are bordered by two red lines filled with a row of green and red flowers connected by stems. The borders form an uppercase I shape, a vertical line at center with a horizontal line at top and bottom. A similar, but thicker border lines the top and bottom edge of the fabric. At bottom there is only a partial border on the right side. The edges of the fragment are raw and frayed.

A vertically rectangular, dark shawl fragment in three panels. The background color of all three panels is red. On left panel, two large, curved blue shapes interlock with each other. The shapes begin as narrow lines extending upward, then curing to the left and then back down, almost to the bottom of the initial base. Instead of touching the bottom, the curve back upward, and curve into a tightly wound circle. Inside the lines are small, yellow, triangular shapes, resembling scales on an animal, continuing from one end of the shape all the way to the other. In the middle pattern are dark blue shapes resembling a teardrop, repeating from the bottom of the panel to the top. On the right side of the panel is a mirror image shape to the left panel; a blue shape that extends upward and curves to the right, then down again. Intersecting with it are other curved lines and scale-like shapes.

Rectangular fragment of a woven shawl in red, blue, and tan featuring two repeats of a multicolored cone motif. The two cones fill the height and width of the shawl. The cones are comprised of four layers, a central teardrop encompassed by three lines of different floral patterns. All four layers culminate at top in concentric curls to the left. At the bottom of each cone are six feather-like leaves. The center of the cone on the right is filled more densely with red than the left. While the first layer around the teardrop on the left is more densely filled with red than the right. Otherwise the two cones are identical. The space around the cones is covered with dense embroidered flowers leaving little negative space. Multicolored band is stitched to each side. The border at top and bottom are comprised of two thin parallel red lines with a row of black dots. They are filled with the same dense floral pattern as the rest of the design. The top and bottom edges are frayed.
