Formed of a wide band of white cotton joined to a large crown roundel of the same fabric. The roundel and the band have been embroidered with white silk stitches forming tiny lozenge shapes. On the roundel a small circular eyelet hole in [faded] magenta silk surrounded by a dozen or so rows of metal threads, the outer three rows couched with blue silk forming small triangular motifs.
