A horizontally long black velvet cuff is embroidered with mirrored vine and leaf patterns in glinting gold and yellow threads. Centered within a circular vine is a stylized flower-like motif. A thick border of textured embroidery runs along the bottom and left sides. Ruffled cream lace trims the top and left edges, while three metal fasteners are positioned vertically on the right. The embroidery stands out in high relief against the dark background.
