Dress fabric of brocaded silk satin with silk and metal thread. Red satin ground with an offset, repeating pattern of a bird [parrot] perched on a flowering bush. The body and wings of the birds are outlined in either blue or brown, with the colours alternating along each row. The metal thread is silver strip open S-wound on a yellow silk core. The predominant colour matches the details on the roots of the bush and one the petals of the larger blossom. The bird faces left in the complete motifs and seems to face left in the row above, which is partial. There is a diagonal seam at the top right hand corner; this may indicated it was once part of a garment.
