Part of a woman's smock, possibly for lying-in, of bleached linen, consisting of the top half (front and back, all one piece), 2 sleeves, 2 sleeve gussets, embroidered in black silk on linen, and 2 narrow strips of the smock below the embroidery, buttonhole-stitched with black silk. All the parts have been reconstructed on a reproduction smock. The blackwork embroidery consists of large pomegranates, roses and leaves outlined in stem stitch and infilled with counted thread stitch in geometric patterns. The border at the edge of each sleeve is worked in reversible embroidery, to turn back at the wrists. The neckline and wrists are edged with lace made of chainstitched black linen.
