Fiziksel açıklama
Hanging of embroidered linen with silks in surface darning on the diagonal and a running stitch border. The border, which is along the lower edge and the right hand side, has an angular green meander with red pomegranates and blue leaves. The ground is decorated with off-set bands of red pomegranates between curving blue serrated leaves, each with a white internal stem, and with a red cloud band motif at the base and red spiky leaves at the top. Each pomegranate contains a pattern of stems coming from a green base and with a central white tulip. Made from two widths joined after being embroidered.
