Long, rectangular piece of embroidered cotton textile. The patterning comprises a row of two alternating floral motifs (nine in total) on a brown ground. Both flowers have six petals: one is yellow and orange, the other green and orange. Each is separated by a blue and white 'pillar' and linked by a blue meandering line. A thin orange line frames the patterning at the longer edges. All threads are synthetic (?).
