Fiziksel açıklama
Silk satin brocaded with silk and metal thread and stamped. Displayed behind glass. 5 shaft satin with red silk warp and pink silk weft. The brocading wefts are: blue and green silk and silver-gilt strip S-wound on a yellow silk core. Light red ground with offset rows of a floral motif: pair of green leaves and roots, 2 large blue daisy-like flowers, smaller flowers and buds. They bend slightly to the left in one band and are reversed in the other row. The ground between these motifs has been marked with 4 short lines forming a zigzag between the bands. It is possible that it is pieced across the middle and down the lower part of the right hand side.
