Fiziksel açıklama
Cut voided silk velvet with metal thread and a warp rib ground. Displayed behind glass. Displayed on its side. Warp: yellow silk foundation warp and purple silk pile warp. Weft: yellow silk and gilt metal strip. Pieced: there is a seam along the lower part and the lower section appears to be made from 5 pieces because the pattern is disrupted. There is a metal thread ground with a pattern in purple pile forming a diamond lattice. Pairs of leaves form the lattice with a solid oval of pile at the junctions. Each diamond contains an 8-petalled rosette.
