A rectangular piece of off-white cotton plain weave cloth features a deeply scalloped edge forming five points. Intricate black floral and vine patterns follow the border's curves, with small blossoms and leaves sprouting from winding stems within each point. While the lower edge is densely decorated, the upper portion remains plain, showing light brown stains near the top edge. Black thread outlines each shape against the pale fabric.
