Embroidered Linen Handkerchief

Cleveland Museum of Art

White linen handkerchief with embroidered floral design. The handkerchief is square in shape with a white border around the edges. The border has a dotted line pattern along its inner edges. The main body of the handkerchief is slightly darker than the border. In the bottom left corner, there is a circular floral design embroidered in white thread. The design features a wreath-like pattern with flowers, leaves and stems. The handkerchief appears to be made of a lightweight, semi-sheer fabric. The background behind the handkerchief is solid black.
