Fiziksel açıklama
Red and green cushion cover of brocaded silk velvet with metal thread. The design is made of floral and leaf motifs. In the centre is a large floral motif containing within it several large leaf motifs, each within the other, which contain leaves. The central leaf contains a decorative pattern. At the four corners, there are decorative patterns that contain floral and leaf motifs, much like those found at the centre of the cushion. The green looks bluer on the back, indicating a fading on the front.
