Fiziksel açıklama
Dress fabric of woven silk satin and metal thread. Red satin ground with a pattern of pairs of confronting birds woven with metal thread [silver strip open S-wound on a yellow silk core] with highlights of blue and white with brown outlines. The pairs of birds have a small tree-like motif between them and they are above a floral arrangement of 2 small and one large blossom which bends slightly to one side. The direction of this bend alternates with the rows. There is a stylised fish-motif between the floral motifs.
