Rectangular cotton textile with five columns of embroidery which end in a point, probably a trouser leg. Each 'column' is subdivided into four squares width and 26 squares vertically. Some of the squares are outlined (green with yellow or red infilling and a green diagonal). The majority just occupy the space of a square, and are chevron or arrow shaped. The embroidery is worked in yellow, green, red, pink, purple and blue cotton threads. Between each column is a vertical row of cream-coloured pulled thread work.
