The stitches mostly used are long and short and satin stitches (partly raised) with laid and couched work in silver-gilt thread and twisted cord. In the top left and right hand corners are a white and yellow disk (possibly the moon and sun). Edged with a five and half inches border of blue silk (tabby ground) with pattern in silver-gilt paper and tan silk.
