Apron made of glazed indigo-dyed cotton embroidered with multi-coloured cotton. Made from two pieces of cotton joined vertically with a band of embroidery. The apron is gathered into a deep band at the waist and tied with two long woven ribbons. The hem is trimmed with a deep edging of cotton bobbin lace, mainly in white but with red and green. The pattern is composed of bold floral and geometric motifs. There are vertical rows of petals resist-dyed onto the ground fabric.
