Woven shawl with the insignia of the Prince of Wales. In the four corners are three Prince of Wales's feathers linked by the motto 'ICH DIEN' rising from a small shield with the leopards of England to dominate each quarter. The feathers are broad, brightly banded lines, with an inner growth of green, yellow and brown and an outer growth of red and yellow. A meander of roses, thistles and a little shamrock, with small shields superimposed bear the arms of Scotland and Ireland form a free border to link the corner designs with the central feature of each side, where there are four shields, with the arms of France, the Prince of Wales's feathers and two sets of the Leopards of England (which because of the point repeat are shown in opposite directions) over a symmetrical arrangement of delicate sprays bearing more roses, thistles and shamrocks which reach in towards a central wreath of thistles around a rosette of roses and rose buds.
All this is woven in bright red, bright mid-blue, dull yellow, pale yellow-green and very dark brown wool with pale yellow silk on a creamy-white ground bound in twills. At the top and bottom is a narrow fancy edging in white before the silk warp forms a lattice fringe with three rows of knots. A smaller fringe is knotted into the selvedges.
