A wide, symmetrical V-shaped white cotton net textile is intricately embroidered with floral patterns, the central field dotted with small, evenly spaced points. Large floral bouquets with circular blossoms anchor the bottom point and flanking side sections. These patterns are framed by a scalloped border of repeating flower motifs and patterned lines. The long ends curve upward and out, terminating in rounded tabs that extend away from the central section.
