A horizontal rectangular embroidery of silk and glinting gold on linen features a plain cream center. Wide borders of scrolling vines and flowers in red, blue, and green wrap around the central field. Two circular medallions at the top and bottom center depict haloed figures. Four floral bouquets angle inward from the inner corners. A final dark, fringed trim lines the outer edge, while narrow scrollwork borders define the rectangular frame.
