Feather fabric (fragment)

On a background of light red feathers are three bird-like creatures made of blue feathers. There is a beak-like shape made of black feathers on each head and an eye(?) made of black and green-yellow feathers inside the head. On the narrow sides are two narrow strips of black and brown feathers and two narrow, attached strips of fabric.
