The field is composed of vertical bands of varying width, alternating between finely ridged narrow stripes and broader flat sections in tones of taupe, fawn, and warm brown. Each end finishes in a plain horizontal band followed by a slim ivory border. The two faces shown present the same striped composition, with the tonal contrast between stripes appearing softer and more blended on the lower panel than on the upper.
