Around the edge of the panel is an embroidered border pattern consisting of a flower in two shades of pink alternating with a frond, usually of three leaves and a tendril. Between this border and the centrefield is an embroidered pattern of what are probably fruits in pink contained within a green leafy surround, with curved stems between. The centrefield of the cloth also has a framed border of four petalled pink flowers alternating with blue or grey floral motifs. At the centre of the main centre panel is a six-pointed floral motif, the rest of the field being filled with a green lattice of pink floral motifs. Some staining and irregular depth of colour.
