Plain weave cotton embroidered with silk in cross stitch; strips of cotton have been stitched around the edges.
The black ground has a large flattened eight-pointed star in red, with a central beige quatrefoil shape (possibly representing a pool of water) within which are four floral motifs which may be flowers growing from a central island. Around the 'pool' are four yellow stylised trees and four U-shapes which are filled with geometric motifs. In each corner of the cover is a stylised red palmette flanked by white leaf forms; these alternate with a large U-shaped motif in beige and with other scattered motifs. It is possible that this design represents a version of a Persian Garden Carpet. A narrow yellow border has a thin black angular meander carrying blue, red, yellow and green leaf forms.
There are some repairs using surface darning which may indicate that surface darning is a more recent technique.
Colours (Embroidery threads, 2S silk): white, beige, black, red, blue, green, yellow.
