Rectangular strip of linen white textile fragment embroidered with red and black patterns with four fragments about a third of the size of the first patterned with similar, though simplified, shapes. Black outlines shapes linen against a solid red embroidered background. Repeating abstract flowers made from squares mirrored on upper lower bands flank a central pattern with three alternating geometric shapes. One appears like an abstracted peacock, another flowers in a vase.
