Cover of silk embrodiered with silk in atma and couched metal threads (outlines). Made from two widths joined before being embroidered.
There is a narrow border in which a red, white or gold leaf motif alternates. The blue ground is decorated with offset medallions which are slightly pointed ovals, each with a small 'root' at the bottom and two leaves at the top. The medallions are bordered by a line of curling leaves, giving them a serrated appearance. Each medallion contains six leaves around a smaller serrated medallion which contains a single blossom. Some of the medallions are outlined in red and some are outlined in gold and there are other less marked differences. These two colour variations alternate and form diagonal lines of the same colour going from lower left to upper right.
