The round cotton tablecloth has an unbleached cotton field, heavily embroidered with vibrantly colored animals and plants. There is a large bird in the center, and large birds around the perimeter, mostly alternating with four-legged animals. There are smaller animals and birds and flowers in the spaces between. The birds and animals are striped in a variety of colors: light orange, blue-green, dark pink, red, green, blue, pink, light green, dark blue, brown, and purple. The flowers are done generally in two colors for the petals with a contrasting colored center and constrasting colored leaves.
