Fiziksel açıklama
Plain weave linen [?], probably hand woven, embroidered with silk in straight stitches with pulled thread work; whitework. The central rectangular area is left undecorated but four small corner units of two kinds of pulled thread work in a tellis pattern form a large flat octagon edged with tiny trefoil or lozenge shapes in straight stitches. A wide band of lozenge forms, alternately of straight stitched triangles or pulled thread work, each edged in small nets of pulled thread work completes the cover with a finishing line of small lozenge motifs in straight stitches. Linen [?] thread: Z-spun Embroidery Thread: white silk; 2S
