Fiziksel açıklama
Cover, plain weave cotton embroidered with silk in surface darning on the diagonal, cross and running stitch, with pulled thread work. The border has a dark green-blue ground with a fine black line linking a pink and light blue acorn and a stylized bud. The main panel has a pulled thread ground worked with white silk. The outlines are worked in cross stitch. The pattern is too big for the space and the motifs are cut by the borders. The pattern consists of offset bands with large pink stars alternating with small beige eight-pointed stars. The spaces between are filled with a diagonal line of three motifs. Colours (Embroidery threads, 2S-twist silk): light blue, dark blue, black, light pink [faded], dark pink [faded], orange, beige, yellow, blue, white.
