- Two panels which, when joined down the centre, form a square cover. Linen embroidered with silk in regular surface darning.
Each panel contains two vertical parallel stems which are formed by green outlines and red scale-like segments. A elicate green stem and leaf hangs down from the main stem and is attached to a large, segmented and pointed fruit. This has not been identified but resembles a bunch of grapes. This fruit forms three rows in which it alternates to the left and to the right. Along each row a redfruit alternates with a blue fruit.
Each panel has a border along three sides. The border is divided into a series of niches formed by a blue line and each niche contains either a blue flower with a white centre or a red flower with a green centre. (en)
