Woven silk and metal thread, plain weave ground .
Warp: light pink [or faded red] silk
Weft: mauve, white, green, light blue and red silk
Metal thread: silver strip open S-wound on yellow silk.
metal thread ground with a repeating pattern of two rows:
[1] a square 'vase' outlined in green decorated with small stylised flower heads in red, light blue and mauve from which emerges a large red flame multi-petalled flower head edged in white with a blue calyx. In between this row of red flower heads is an 8-petalled blue rosette with a red centre framed with a green leafy stem forming a heart-shaped vase with a neck from which emerges [2] a similar red flame multi-petalled flower surmounted by two small green leaves. In between each flower head a thin green leafy stem with two small tulip buds in red and blue edged in white curves over a small 8-petalled blue rosette with red centre.
Sized on the back. There are noticeable weaving faults. The edges have been folded under as if to form one side of a purse or bag. The textile has been pieced and one piece is patterned with a slightly smaller version of the main one: with the motifs being 5.7 cm rather than 6.3 cm.
