A horizontally long piece of black velvet is embroidered with symmetrical foliate patterns in glinting yellow and silver threads. A central circular vine encloses a multi-pointed leaf, flanked by scrolled vines. Thick yellow embroidered lines border the bottom and right sides. Three silver metal fasteners are attached to the left edge. A ruffled white lace trim lines the top, providing a delicate contrast to the dark velvet and heavy embroidery.
