A large, multi-colored parachute is draped over the top of a white wall. The visible side of the parachute hangs down in a semicircle with the embroidered image of a white, five-point star and yellow flowers set inside a wooden embroidery hoop in the center. A second embroidery hoop is attached to the fabric near the bottom edge of the parachute.
