A vertically long wool textile features horizontal rows of stylized figures and horseback riders across a cream field. Figures with outstretched arms in red, green, and black tunics alternate with geometric stars and riders. A diamond-patterned border in green, red, and yellow encloses the center, while thick red bands with cream fringe finish the top and bottom. Repeating motifs create a dense, geometric composition in vibrant primary colors across the woven surface.
