A cream linen blouse laid flat features wide, rectangular sleeves and a short body with a curved hem. Dense geometric embroidery in red, green, and black covers the stiff collar and vertical bands at the chest opening. These intricate, diamond-like patterns contrast with the plain weave fabric, which bears a tan stain. Delicate red borders trim the sleeve ends, punctuating the garment's horizontal silhouette.
