Fiziksel açıklama
Dress fabric, woven silk and metal thread. Displayed behind glass. Warp: pink and yellow silk with white silk used as the binding warp. Weft: silk: pink, blue, green, black; metal thread: silver strip S-wound on white silk core. Selvedge: 2 cords of Z-spun S-plied cotton. The ground is pale, presumably metal thread, with an ogival lattice formed by fine dark lines enclosing a dark stem with tiny leaves in what appears to be predominantly pink and black. Each ogee contains the same motif: an almost diamond shaped arrangement with 3 rosettes, 2 red ones and one blue one on the left. There is a small curving leafy stem between the blue rosette and the central red one. An elongated but unidentifiable motif goes from the lower right to just below the central rosette; its lower part is serrated and green and the upper part is pink - it looks a little like a very upright bird with a feathery tail.
