A short creamy beige-colored silk curtain, embroidered in silk of the same shade. The curtain is rectangular except for a curved upper right corner; small brass rings are fitted along the top edge into the curve. The elegant embroidery stretches inside the sides and top of the curtain: long thin lines of attenuated design, vaguely like long curving blades of grass in the heavier upper sections. Parts of the design are worked around small inserted pieces of netting, allowing the white background to show through.
