Rectangular, browned, linen white textile embroidered with dark blue providing a background to a central eight-point star flanked by two smaller stars. These stars appear flower-like with primarily red, yellow, blue, and green shapes. The blue makes its own abstracted star-like shape, before extending into a solid field of blue interrupted only by two flanking squares from which extend two outlines like quill nibs pointing in towards the stars and patterned with the same colors.
