An off-white square cotton cloth features intricate red embroidery. Centered are rows of varying cursive and gothic alphabets and numbers, surrounded by names framed in delicate, ornate leaf sprays (see "Inscriptions"). Two vertical columns of names border the left and right sides. Lining the bottom and lower edges are large, ornate letters intricately filled with foliated and floral motifs. Faint brown staining discolors a circular area near the center.
