Chair seat, embroidered in wools and a little silk mostly in tent stitch on canvas ground. The central scene is of Bacchus reclining in a chariot being drawn by two leopards. He is holding aloft his thyrsus (staff twined with vine leaves).One follower rides on the back of the leopards whipping them up with a thyrsus, another stands beside the chariot blowing a horn. The figures are depicted as genial rather than frenzied. While most of the embroidery is in tent stitch, the faces and hands of the figures are additionally embroidered over with a type of speckling stitch, which gives texture and allows for great subtlety in shading the flesh tones. There is a deep surround of intertwining flowers, mostly stylized large blooms, on a brown ground. These and the central scene are worked in a range of colours originally vibrant, whose brightness is retained on the reverse. The embroidery has been pulled into a parallelogram shape by the embroidery stitches. It retains its bare canvas edges, which show no signs of the seat having been used. The canvas has selvedges at top and bottom, and is hemmed at each side. On the canvas edge to the right of the worked seat is a very small area of trial embroidery stitches carried out in blue and white wool. There are traces of pencil lines on the canvas indicating the shape of the seat to be worked.
