Each end has a horizontal ornamental band of three decorated roundels within lines of lozenges in yellow rayon. The shawl has narrow borders of a simple geometric repeat in yellow at the ends and grey along the central area. A long twisted rayon fringe is knotted into three edges. The piece is lined with yellow chiffon.
