The design is made up of an abstract honeycomb pattern of dark reddish-brown color over a light tan base with stipples of dark reddish-brown color over which an undulating ribbon of hard edges decorated with groups of three pearls stands out. The ribbon is of light tan color, outlined with red lines, and the pearls are of white color.
