Object Description
Rectangular pillow case. The back portion of the pillow is a dark cream coloring and is void of decoration. The front portion is fully emboridered. There are two strips of patteren that alternate to cover the pillowcase. The first is one that alternates a red flower that has a cream color center and four petals and two green, horizontal oval shapes that sit on top of one another; it has two shades of green, lighter green on the top then a darker green below. In between the petals of the red flowers there is a purple triangle that is outlined in black. The tips of the oval shapes just touch the red flower.
The section of design that is under that is another one of alternating images. The first is a light blue hexagon, outlined with black, and on the inside there is a white stitching that looks like a four petaled flower. In the space around the angled sides, is a trapezoid shape in a mauve coloing with a mint green dot in the center and outlined in black. sitting next to and touching the hexagon are two vertical oval shapes, the same as from the previous panel of design, just pointing in the different direction. The tips of the ovals are touching the red flower in the panal above.
There is an opening on the side of the case to allow the pillow to slide into.
