Notes
The ground of this embroidery is made of transparent chiffon, and flowers have been scattered over the entire surface of the soft fabric, and executed in multiple shades of colored silk, while the borders and branches are executed with golden threads. It appears from the circle appearing in the middle of the approximately square-shaped embroidery that the piece of fabric may have been used as a turban cover, while the Riddarholm Church in Stockholm used the piece as a cover for the baptismal font.
