A square cotton textile with a deep purple border and scalloped inner edges features embroidered rows of alphabets and numbers. A red cursive alphabet is enclosed within a central leaf-patterned oval. Below, three distinct crowns are flanked by floral sprigs and grape clusters. Further scripts in gothic and multicolored lowercase lettering fill the lower section, interspersed with trailing vines. The names "Fanni" and "Stern" are delicately stitched near the bottom corners.
