Fiziksel açıklama
resist dyed, block printed and painted, fine plain weave cotton, probably hand-woven backed with roller printing cotton and faced with bias-cut cotton. In the middle is a red rosette with a blue centre on a white ground surrounded by a delicate circular band of blue cypress trees and red 3-petalled flowers on a light yellow ground. Curving blue stems form an inner circle of eight white ground heart-shaped segments each containing two red and 1 mauve flower and an outer circle of larger but similar segments with a light yellow ground. Sections of these outer patterns are repeated in each corner of the central panel. The central decoration is printed on top of a blue stemmed meander repeated one and half times on a white ground. It bears exotic blossoms and carnations and pomegranates and spotted pod-like leaves. The central field is framed by two narrow bands extended to form a square box in each of the outermost corners. The bands are: [a] a reciprocal trefoil in blue and white [b] a meander of blue leaves with an infill of a simple 4-petalled rosette in red and mauve on a light yellow ground. The corner boxes contain a vase with a floral spray pointing inwards. There is a wide band from these four boxes, running along the sides and the top and bottom, patterned with a blue leafy meander bearing similar but larger exotic blossoms as in the main field. This is edged with a repeat of the [a] and [b] borders. The backing is roller printed on a cream ground with a repeating pattern of small flower heads in 2 shades of red arranged in off-set rows. The pieces of fabric have been sewn together. The facing is bias-cut dark blue plain weave cotton. Colours: two shades of red, blue, yellow, mauve, black.
