Triangular piece of tan fabric with embroidered dark brown and green designs. The fabric has a wide top edge and tapers to a point at the bottom. The embroidery features a central motif resembling a pineapple or flower, surrounded by swirling patterns and leaves. There are also small circular designs with eight-pointed stars. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with frayed edges. A small piece of white fabric is visible at the bottom point. The background is plain white. Stomacher by unknown artist.
