Fiziksel açıklama
Plain weave cotton embroidered with silk in straight stitches edged on the front with white cotton tape and backed with block printed plain weave cotton. . Directional design with the top of the pattern at the bottom of the panel, so that the wearer saw the correct pattern. There is part of a border along the bottom: indistinct pattern. Above it is a narrow pattern between 2 green lines. The main pattern is a series of diagonal lines from lower right to upper left. These are of dark green and dark red. There are two sizes of stripes: [1] narrow stripes: white ground [either unembroidered or the threads have decayed] with a spray of small flowers alternating with an angled stem and red blossom facing the lower left. [2] wider stripes in two designs, both have a red ground but it is difficult to see the details of the design. [a] straight stem with 3 light blossoms forming a diamond alternating with a straight stem and a round blossom. [b] very indistinct design with lots of small flowers. Threads: Silk, 2S: dark red/purple, blue, yellow, white, dark green. Backing: same as the backing on 757-1888. Striped: white ground with a meandering red, blue and white leaves with red and white flowers; red ground with white and blue flowers; blue ground with line of red flowers; very faded yellow ground with line of red flowers. Rather crude.
