About this work

This cloth is covered in tiny, repeating shapes. Hexagons fill most of the space, forming a grid. Some spots have bigger circles with swirling designs inside. The colors are mostly muted golds and greens, with dark blue outlines. The swirls in the circles look like flowers or clouds. The edges of the cloth are plain, showing wear.
