Fiziksel açıklama
Plain weave cotton embroidered with silk in straight stitches. A strip of white cotton has been sewn on all four sides. Cut on all four sides. Directional design with the top of the pattern at the bottom of the panel, so that the wearer saw the correct pattern. There is a border along the bottom: pink flower with long petals outlined in dark blue pointing to the upper left alternating with pink blossom pointing to the lower left. Part of a border survives on the right extending part way up the side of the panel; it seems to have a white ground. The main pattern is a series of diagonal lines from lower right to upper left. These are chevron lines in yellow and green. There are three sizes of stripes: [1] narrow stripes: white ground with angled striped stem and bunch of mauve flowers pointing down alternating with a long striped stem pointing down with a large pink flower bending to the right. There are also small round blue and yellow flowers. [2] wider stripes in two designs: [a] yellow vase with large central pink blossom and 3 clusters of white flowers alternating with a pair of white and pink leaves, 2 long blue sprays and 3 large pink carnations. [b] even wider stripes: more indistinct - central pink rosette with 2 blue outlined birds alternate with a mass of pink flowers with a trefoil flower outlined in black. There are groups of small white flowers. Threads: silk; 2S; red, white, pink, green, light green, dark green, dark blue, mauve, light mauve, yellow, dark mauve.
