Fiziksel açıklama
Woven and brocaded silk and metal thread with attached lower border of woven silk and metal thread. Woven as one piece with a rectangular central panel with a wide border across the top and down the sides and a square, decorative pattern in each upper corner. A lower border of a different fabric has been stitched across the lower edge. The central panel has a gold ground [gold strip S-wound on a yellow silk core] with spaced, isolated motifs in offset rows: an upright white iris [brocaded] with 3 flowers and leaves. The white silk has silver strip open S-wound around it. The corner squares have the same gold ground with concentric circles of red or mauve flower heads with a central circular arrangement of 4 red and 4 light blue petals. The whole is surrounded by an irregularly shaped white/silver band. The borders also have the gold ground. They contain a pair of undulating white/silver bands almost forming compartments containing red and mauve flowers and green leaves. A red and white chevron border forms edges all round. The lower border is woven as a horizontal piece and has a similar design but it is finer and more detailed and on a smaller scale. The white/silver bands are formed by serrated leaves. There is a red and white chevron band above and below the main pattern. Metal Threads: [1] silver strip open S-wound on white silk; [2] silver strip open S-wound on yellow silk.
