The handkerchief is blue and folded in fourths with one square of screen printed design in gold pigment. The handkerchief has silhouettes of a man on the left and woman with an afro hairstyle on the right, both in profile and facing each other. Below the silhouettes, three lines join to make a "V" shape design with the letter [Z] in the center, surrounded by the wedding date, [11/19 / 20/16]. Below the silhouettes, the bride and groom’s names are printed in cursive, reading [Shantrelle / & / Oluwatoyin]. Underneath is the wedding date, place, and hashtag [NOVEMBER 19, 2016 / NEW ORLEANS, LA / #JollofandJambalaya]. On the inside of the handkerchief is a white manufacturer’s tag that reads, [Poly-Value® MADE IN CHINA / 100% POLYESTER / HAND WASH COLD / © Tan’s Club. RN 97467 / [paisley design] ®].
