A horizontally long cream linen sash is embroidered with repeating floral patterns in light green, tan, and pale blue. Two identical rectangular panels on the left feature symmetrical botanical motifs with frond-like leaves, tan blossoms, and pale blue buds, accented by shimmering silver threads. The remainder of the textile extends to the right as a long, plain strip of unadorned fabric. The delicate needlework creates a subtle, elegant design against the ivory background.
