The fringe alternates white and lavender strands with bright red tassels hanging in rows, with gold-coloured bead trim along the lower edge. Behind it, a red and green panel shows a gold emblem, and the top corner shows a purple logo. Below the fringe, a portion of an orange wall and a window with reflections are visible, with the tops of a few people's heads at the bottom edge.
