content: Tapestry-woven square mounted with glue on wool plain weave. At each corner, strictly frontal nimbate figures on red ground with hands raised; at right angles to warp. The pair at bottom of the square inverted 180 degrees from the pair above. Between them, and in center, a medallion containing each a bird; those at side on tan ground, in center on pink ground, in the direction of warp. These medallions and outlines of figures and birds worked in soumak. The square has a brown plain outer border. On the red ground, small dots with centers are used as fillers.
