Embroidered cloth. The long rectangular piece is made of a dark grey-brown denim-like fabric with finished edges. Two lines of vibrantly coloured, stylized flowers are embroidered onto the cloth, separated by a horizontal zigzagging line which switches between blue, white, green and orange coloured-thread. Larger flowers sit along top, with smaller along bottom. Outside edges are embroidered in foliage, zigzag, and wave motifs. Sparse fringe decorates parts of three edges.
