Malzemeler ve teknikler
Satin foundation structure: 4/1 satin; warp: silk, ivory, thin; weft: cotton, ivory, single ply. Satin and velvet warp order 3-1-2. Velvet structure, red and green; pile counts, warps 12, along weft 14. (Less combed or more matted, unruly). Binding weft threads: silk, super-skinny; white. Brocade structure: wholly brocaded? part 4/1 twill, count 17. Shots between pile 2, metal and twist: gilt, Z tightness of wrap: super. Selvedges: 2 cm. Selvedges have two bands of weaving; inner one is a broken twill; outer one is a warp-faced satin that still shows some cotton. They are separated by a double-ply strand plied S. On the back, the cotton weft is exposed more than is usual. Is it possible the velvet warps, which are caught on the back by the binding weft, are in fact bound less trightly, so as they pull out, they expose some of the cotton?

The border contains a floral meander pattern, while the lappet pattern at either end shows floral sprays in a vase.
