The composition consists of stylized lilies separated by parallelograms placed on their narrower edge, with the sides of the parallelograms extending to form a wavy line, in the recesses of which flowers are inscribed. The composition is framed on both sides with the 'sosnivka' decorative stitch. Along the longer edges is a row of embroidery with alternating small squares and slanted lines. The embroidery is done with black and red zari thread.
