Two purple cross-shaped appliqués are positioned at the central horizontal intersections of the sashing. The piece is constructed as a tied comfort, with the top, batting, and white cotton backing layers secured by a series of yellow yarn ties arranged in a grid across the surface The textile shows overall surface wrinkling and signs of use consistent with age.
