Rectangular, linen white textile fragment embroidered with tight rows of dark pink stitches creating a solid background from which linen white organic shapes emerge, detailed with outlines of shapes in finer dark pink stitches. Lines of swirling patterns divide thin bands of an upper and lower section with mirrored repeating patterns like alternating large and small stylized flowers. The central band features a repeated pattern of a central stalk branching out in five directions.
