Rectangular maroon velvet with rope stitch border, fleur-de-lis surrounding Star of David in the center.

A photograph places the item at the dedication in 1906, where it remained until 1961 when the building was torn down for construction of Interstate 75.  From that point, its history is uncertain, until it was recovered from the caretaker’s storeroom at Spring Grove Cemetery.
