Fiziksel açıklama
Panel of dark brown and white silk tissue, double cloth with a plain tie. The design consists of a series of repeating roundels. In each roundel is a pair of confronted winged lions with goat-headed tails. Above them is a pair of confronted eagles. The border of the roundel contains 12 circles which contain four sets of three animals: a peacock, a winged lion, and an eagle. In the interspaces between the roundels are octagons, each containing four circles which enclose birds (possibly doves). In the triangular spaces between the octagons and the roundels are pairs of confronted birds and palmettes.
