Plain weave cotton embroidered with silk in surface darning on the diagonal and cross stitch and pulled thread work, backed with plain weave cotton with a facing of silk satin and with an applied border of woven silk. There is a plain weave cotton inter-lining.
White silk has been used to overcast a pulled thread ground around two motifs in alternate rows:
[1] A faded pink octagon infilled with a light blue eight-pointed star, alternating with a dark blue horizontal cartouche.
[2] A yellow four-pointed star form with a light blue and beige octagonal centre, alternating with a dark blue vertical cartouche.
Scattered angular forms are in between these motifs. All were originally outlined in black cross stitch.
The border is bias-cut woven silk; this would have been woven as a piece of diagonally striped fabric, and would have been cut to produce bias-cut borders. It is decorated with a thin black meander, bearing pink roses or blue star flowers and either light green parakeets or white doves.
Colours (Embroidery threads, 2S silk): white, black, red, pink, yellow, beige, light blue, light turquoise, dark blue, mid-blue [two shades]; (Backing): pink cotton; (Facing): light blue bias-cut satin.
