Two off-white cotton panels are decorated along their lower edges with intricate black floral embroidery. Each panel flares into a series of jagged, scalloped points, where small flower heads and curved stems fill the space above a delicate border. Cutout fabric pieces accent the dark stitching. Light brown staining marks the fabric, especially on the left piece. Straight top edges contrast with the ornate, pointed embroidery that defines the scalloped bottom silhouette.
