- Hanging, linen embroidered with silk in atma, Roumanian couching (a later addition), close herringbone, double running in a line and chain stitch for the border lines.
The hanging is made from three widths of linen joined after being embroidered.
The border is a floral meander of two types of red flowers, one of which is a tulip, and blue pointed leaves. The field is divided into a series of diamond-shaped compartments by diagonal blue leaves which are connected by an oval medallion outlined in red. Each compartment contains a large red segmented tulip. (en)
