White silk warp and weft with the pattern formed by brocaded silk wefts in very light blue and blue-mauve. It is a diaper pattern, each diamond is subdivided into smaller diamonds. The colours alternate creating a series of vertical rows. There are integral borders of metal thread on 4 sides of the lower panel. The metal thread is gold strip close S-wound on a yellow silk core and is woven in a diamond pattern. In the upper panel the border on the left hand side is integral. The border along the top is integral but it appears to have a seam half way along it. The border down the right hand side has been added and the whole upper panel has been attached to the top metal thread border of the lower panel. Reversible.
