A vertical linen ground features a plain upper section and a lower field densely embroidered with dark, winding vines. Rounded, segmented flowers in salmon and light pink alternate with small blue blossoms and green leaves, all outlined in black thread. Glinting gold thread accents the floral interiors. A narrow red border lines the bottom edge, while the top left corner contains handwritten inventory markings.
