Woven silk satin and metal thread with a border of woven silk, backed with plain weave cotton and faced with plain weave cotton. Orange satin ground is woven with offset rows of confronting birds [parrots] above a floral spray with one large and two small flowers. The pair of birds have coloured wings, alternately white or light blue. The birds are separated by a small pointed motif which is the colour of the wings. The sprays of flowers are separated by a vertical fish-like motif. The metal thread is silver and silver-gilt strip open S-wound on a yellow silk core. Two narrow bands of metal thread and dark silk mark the loom end along the upper edge and between them are two star shapes containing a woven inscription [a blessing for the weaver]. There is an added border down the sides and across the bottom edged with black cotton tape: bias cut woven silk with a yellow ground and a meandering stem linking red blossoms and blue ones with white buds. Two different types of fabric [?], one more finely woven than the other. Backing: pieced; dark green cotton. Facing: bias cut black cotton.
