Fiziksel açıklama
Towel or napkin of linen woven with a silk stripe and embroidered with silk in double darning and with plate in satin stitch. The decoration is formed by offset bands of a repeated floral motif - a small gold stem, curling at its base, with a secondary pink curl and with three spiky flowers, one at the top and two along the stem. Each flower has three pointed petals and the colours vary but include pink and blue.
