Broad dark mud-dye-like fields and cleared light regions within joined cotton strips, the cloth continuous across both, absorbed edges and not raised mud or wax cracks, dye deposits, thread crossings and seam gaps at fine scale. A dyed cloth flag in a square frame: the American flag made from thirteen joined cotton strips, seven strips dyed in deep rust red absorbing into the weave and six left unbleached, a canton square dyed indigo with small cleared star shapes in staggered rows, visible thread crossings and seam gaps between strips, lying flat on a pale linen ground.
Light: even soft light on cotton, absorbed dye edges in rust red and indigo, cleared undyed stars and stripes, visible thread crossings and seam gaps; palette of rust red, indigo and unbleached cotton; hand dyed, plain, earnest.
Square 1:1 frame, centred composition with breathing room on all sides. The American flag shown flat and complete with thirteen horizontal stripes alternating red and white starting and ending with red, and a blue canton in the upper left covering the top seven stripes with small white stars in staggered rows; laid out or hung respectfully, never touching the ground, no text, no people, no logos, no defacing.
