Rectangular, linen white textile embroidered with primarily dark red and blue floral patterns, the shapes filled with check-like patterned embroidery. Two large, red flowers, with vaguely flame-like petals sprout blue leaves with a central rectangular space only loosely dotted with small flowers. These patterns are broken near either edge by vertical strips of shimmering web-like silk.
