Circular linen doily with crocheted edging and floral embroidery. The embroidery consists of two big pink flowers on opposite sides of the doily outlined in red, with three big leaves surrounding them. They also have a vine off to each side. On each vine, there is a small flower. The flowers are blue, pink, purple, and yellow with black centers. The crocheted edging consists of a point in the middle surrounded by five circles, which are repeated all along the edge.

Doilies are used to protect furniture or as decoration.
