The imagery includes horses, birds, and human figures, all depicted in a highly stylized manner with bold, vibrant colors. The figures are arranged in a way that suggests movement and interaction, bringing the textile to life. The piece is also characterized by its elongated form, which suggests it was likely created for ceremonial purposes or as a significant decorative element in a traditional setting.
