En varias puntas de la estrella aparecen tres hojas de parra que coinciden con los vértices del cuadrado. Al interior se forman otras dos estrellas concéntricas y en el centro una roseta octolobulada. Dos bandas alrededor del motivo central completan la decoración. Están formadas por entrelazos, la interior con cuadrados y la exterior, por un roleo de círculos con hojas de parra al interior y trifolios al exterior. La decoración se forma casi totalmente con lanzadera volante con hilos de lino de dos tonos diferentes sobre la tapicería.
