A vibrant mixed-media tapestry hangs against a light gray background, featuring an array of colors and materials. The artwork is composed of various fabrics and papers, with patches of yellow, orange, red, blue, and silver. Some sections have printed patterns or text, while others are painted or dyed. The piece is adorned with circular elements that resemble coins or buttons, creating a rich texture and depth. The tapestry is suspended from a horizontal wooden dowel, suggesting a blend of traditional craft and contemporary art.
