Fiziksel açıklama
Cover, plain weave cotton embroidered with silk surface darning on the diagonal and running stitch; two different embroideries joined diagonally, backed with cotton and faced and bordered with woven silk and cotton and metal thread. Displayed behind glass. There are two triangular embroideries: [1] pink ground with one complete and 2 partial stylized floral sprays each with a cone shaped flower between 2 leaves.

Colours: 2 shades of pink, 2 shades of blue, yellow, white, black, light mushroom, brown. [2] yellow ground with a cartouche with a stylized palmette at the pointed end and a curved stem and blossom from the sides. This faces a different direction in alternate rows. Colours: yellow, green-blue, 2 shades of blue, dark red, red, brown, light green-grey, black. Backing: pieced red cotton. Facing/border: Turkish dress fabric: cream ground with a pattern of undulating ribbons in metal thread with flowers and a hanging lantern.
