From the mouth of the sheath, there is a geometric beadwork pattern with a central red diamond-shape outlined with light blue and surrounded by four sets of semi-oval lines of pink, light blue, lime green, and white curving around the central diamond-shape. Main beadwork design consists of a four-heart-shaped-petaled light blue flower outlined with darker blue and having a lime green centre from which springs five more flowers. Two flowers are red buds outlined with pink, diagonally from each other on opposite sides of the darker blue stem. Two other flowers are three-petaled light blue flowers outlined with dark blue, diagonally from each other on opposite sides of the darker blue stem. At the top, there is a four-heart-shaped petaled red flower outlined with dark blue and darker blue and having a lime green centre, from which emanates one green and one red S-shape at the sides.
