The image shows a sheath-like object adorned with embroidered flowers and text. The object is dominated by a dark background, with floral embroidery primarily in pink and green hues. Positioned diagonally across the canvas, the sheath's top features the word "Source" while its lower section displays the year "1868." The embroidery with flowers and text follows the curvature of the sheath.
