Embroidery pattern made up out of so-called knot work. The main pattern has a circular shape and is presented in white on a dark ground. The knotted ropes or straps form six-pointed stars: one in the middle and six surrounding it. On all four corners another, leaf-shaped ornament has been added which sticks out of the circle. The tips of the bottom two leaves fall outside of the image.
