Fiziksel açıklama
Description: Plain weave cotton embroidered with silk in straight stitches through a backing of plain weave cotton, padded and quilted. Off-white ground with a narrow border on four sides with a meandering green stem and a red pointed flower. Down the sides and across the top is a broader border with a reversed S-shaped stem in green not quite linking a 5-petalled red flower with a green and yellow centre. Each stem goes through a red bud and ends with a serrated leaf. The narrow border is repeated on 3 sides. The main panel contains a lobed arch with a red roundel at the top, containing an inscription, surrounded by 4 birds. The spandrels are divided into a small diamond grid in green, each diamond contains a red pointed flower linked by a small green stem to the lattice. The main border and the inside of the arch are quilted in a diamond pattern. Isolated floral sprigs are placed in off-set bands inside the arch. There is a pointed green flower with a yellow centre, red buds and a curving stem to the right with red leaves. The yellow has faded from orange.
