The square item has a design in the shape of a square toward the center with bell-shaped flowers, with the ones in the corners having vines and leaves emanating outward toward the item's corners and inward toward the center. The colors in the embroidered design are blue, green, pink, red, and white. With heavy creases and yellow stains at one edge and toward the center, the cloth is in fair condition.
