Pale yellow fabric with a floral pattern. The fabric is long and rectangular. There are two similar scenes. One scene on the top left features a black line drawing of a vase with a flared mouth on a pedestal. The vase contains two long stems with leaves and flowers. The vase and stems are surrounded by more flowers and leaves in various shades of blue, gray, orange and brown. A similar scene with the same color scheme is on the bottom right, but the vase and stems are not drawn.
