Sides are plain twined with wide twilled border. Grass is embroidered on, the handle is overcast. The horizontal coloured design is bound by purple spruce lines. Orange shapes are staggered, then another purple band. These shapes create a band of purple "S's", then there is another band of purple, orange and the purple again.
