Large, black women's shawl, or veil, with a rectangular embroidery panel centred along the straight edge (when worn this panel falls around the head/face of the wearer). There are four main sections to the design of the panel which are separated by gold stitching: the section closest to the outer edge is two lines of red and green cotton; the largest section of design has light orange, green and red cotton sewn into the embroidery, the main pattern of which consists of gold diamond and rectangular shapes; on the outer edge of the four sections there are triangle and arrow shapes. On the interior of the semi-circular shawl, around the top, there is a small piece of cotton material with a blue background and red and green flowers, sewn as a lining where the shawl would rest on top of the wearer's head. The inside edges of the shawl are also lined: the front seams are lined with a narrow strip of red fabric, and the bottom seams are lined with a narrow strip of blue fabric. On the exterior surface of the shawl, extending out from the central embroidery panel, there is a hand-sewn geometric design consisting of three V-shaped sets of linear patterns. Each of these is a different colour (from closest to the embroidery panel out: light blue, light orange and light yellow). All three consist of two lines and there are flower-like designs sewn on the outside edge of each of the lines. The yellow lines, which are the closest to the bottom of the shawl, have two snail shell designs that extend down from the two main lines.
