A horizontally long piece of white linen cloth embroidered with tight rows of red stitches creating a solid background from which white organic shapes emerge, detailed with outlines of shapes in finer red stitches. Lines of swirling patterns divide thin bands of an upper and lower section with mirrored repeating patterns of alternating large and small stylized flowers. The central band features a repeated pattern of a central stalk branching out in five directions.
