A vertically oriented sleeve-shaped textile features cream cotton embroidered with black floral patterns. The rectangular cloth widens into a series of pointed, scalloped edges at the bottom. Intricate black flowers and leafy vines follow the scalloped border, while light brown staining radiates across the fabric just above the hem. The top and side edges remain frayed, contrasted by the dense, dark embroidery outlining the decorative points at the base.
