There are the remains of an embroidered line across the top. There is a border along the bottom: red blossom with 2 red leaves pointing to the bottom right alternating with a spray of 3 white flowers pointing to the top right. There is a narrow band above and below and extending part way up the sides of the panel: small Y-motifs in red with pink or blue details and above each is a small green triangle. Looks like a cup or bowl with fruit. The main pattern is a series of diagonal lines from lower right to upper left. These are of green and dark green. There are two sizes of stripes: [1] narrow stripes: downward pointing white blossom with orange lines alternating with stylized red and green blossom pointing to lower right, slightly disconnected from its stem.
