The flowers in the lower row of the left hand panel are full-on roses below a sprig of three carnations. The right hand panel also has a row of full-on roses below a row of carnations below part of another, different, motif along the top - which seems to be the small flower enclosed by a pair of long, curved leaves. A narrow piece of green silk has been sewn along most of the upper edge. See also: Circ.677-1923, Circ.679-1923 and Circ.679-1923.
