Black fabric with white floral design. The fabric is rectangular and appears to be frayed on all sides. The floral design includes large flowers, smaller flowers, leaves, stems, and berries. Some of the flowers have multiple petals and centers, while others are smaller and have fewer petals. The leaves vary in shape and size. The background of the fabric is solid black, and the floral design is white. The fabric appears to be a piece by Léon Marcotte.
