Green and yellow rectangles are enclosed in the central diamond, as well as red and purple background stripes. The field has vertical bands of white, black, red, and green with shades of pink and steel blue at the center. Some of the black bands have a stepped edge and some of the green bands are in a "beaded" pattern over top white. Cut fringe at both ends.
