Pink fabric sample with embroidered paisley shapes and scrolls. Fabric is an irregular shape but with a ninety-degree angle corner at lower right. Edges of the fabric are raw. Embroidery creates a border at bottom and right; curled fronds extend out from the border to the left. The border is gold thread formed into a series of small petal like shapes, bordered on the interior edge with a row of light and dark green, and purple leaves. Intertwined into the fronds are four teardrop paisley shapes in tan, gold, purple, and blue. Glass beads are incorporated into the paisley shapes.
