DescriptionPiece of dark brown silk ribbon on a wooden spool. The ribbon features a sprig pattern on an opaque ground at center, with a translucent border. One of the short edges is scalloped; the other has been cut into a rough swallowtail shape. Around the wooden spool is what appears to be a piece of lined scrap paper with a crude drawing of some sort of a map.
