Summary
A white cotton pillow (very badly stained) inside a cotton pillowcase. The pillow is only half the size of the pillowcase so the excess fabric is folded underneath. One side of the pillowcase is plain white cotton fabric. The other side is in white broderie anglaise which has a regular pattern of flowers. There is a white frilled broderie anglaise border which has a pattern of small flowers. There are three button holes on the plain side of the pillowcase but no buttons. There is some damage to the frill.
