Weft-faced blue silk ground woven with offset rows of confronting birds [parrots] above a floral cluster in which one stem curves to create an almost circular motif of flowers and buds. These motifs alternate in light or dark colours and are separated by a small, fish-like motif. There is a narrow band at the top, turned under and stitched in place, marking the end of a loom piece. The lower edge has also been turned and stitched. Metal thread: silver-gilt strip open S-wound on a yellow silk core.
