Rectangular, slightly yellowed, cotton white textile fragment embroidered with a central band of dark blue geometric shapes. Symmetrical snowflake-like shapes radiate out in rows, divided by strips of zig-zags. At the outer edge, the snowflake-like shapes sprout into tree-like edges. A seam horizontally across the center appears like two pieces of cloth have been joined together, mirrored across the seam.
