Black and white photo of a long and thin piece of fabric with black embroidery on a light-colored background. The fabric features a repeating design divided into four sections. The top two sections show a floral oval frame containing people standing next to each other; one holding a parasol. The bottom two sections depict a stone wall with people standing on either side and floral designs surrounding the scenes. The entire design is surrounded by floral motifs and leaves extending to the edges of the fabric. Vertical creases are visible down the center and in the middle of the fabric.
