Fiziksel açıklama
Bed cover of embroidered red linen with linen thread in white, yellow, grey, blue, green, pink and buff in interlacing and large darning stitches. Made from four widths. A central circle, divided into quarters by a cross, is surrounded by three concentric circles containing crosses, circles and zig zags. The corners are cut off by parallel lines containing coiling stems, a design repeated in the border. The corners and the area between them and the central circles contain plants and leaves with circles, stars and small birds scattered amongst them.
