There is a dark green central stem rising from a crown-like red and dark green shallow tray on which are two red and dark green feather-like blossoms with blue and yellow central details. Horizontal and downward pointing red stems with dark green and red leaves and flowers project from the central stem and the boteh is outlined by a narrow light green and then a red line and three rows of green buds with yellow and red details. The lower edge and right hand side have been turned under and stitched in place. Warp: white wool.
