Fiziksel açıklama
Cover, silk satin embroidered with silk in running, straight and chain stitches, padded and quilted, backed with plain weave printed cotton and faced with woven silk. Displayed behind glass. Pink ground. There is an outer band with an undulating line forming a rounded arch enclosing a blue or red pointed carnation. There is a pair of pale leaves where the line touches the inner border. This band is not quilted and also forms the inner rectangular panel. There is a main border on three sides: it contains isolated, inward facing sprigs of 3 carnations, blue alternating with red except in the lower right hand corner where there are 2 blue ones. It is quilted in a scale pattern. The central rectangular panel contains a lobed niche. Above it the spandrels have been filled with a diamond lattice, each diamond contains a bud. The same blue or red carnation sprays are in irregularly spaced offset rows and there is a random scattering of a small snowdrop-like flower. 5 of these plus 9 buds form a ring around a circular medallion at the top of the niche which contains an illegible inscription. The ground of the niche is quilted with a scale pattern. Facing: striped silk with a small floral motif.
