Fiziksel açıklama
Dress fabric of woven silk ikat in white, red, purple, yellow, blue and green. There is a paper label in one corner with "659" written in ink. The pattern has three vertical axes: the left and right include a large V-shaped yellow arch containing a large purple sprig, and beneath this is a white blossom with a red centre. The two yellow V-shapes meet in the centre beneath an elongated red blossom. There is no proper selvedge, just grouped warp threads.
