A square tan linen and cotton textile is framed by a thick, dark green corded border with frayed edges. Ornate gold embroidery features central memorial text, encircled by a wreath of lush green leaves, delicate interweaving vines, and pops of red berries. A striped red and green ribbon bow joins the wreath at the bottom. Symmetrical leafy vines sprout from each corner across the aged, lightly stained fabric.
