The other narrow sections are decorated with animals, birds (including kingfisher and parrot), insects and flowers. There are some trial stitches in an undrawn area outside the panels.\nOne of the caterpillars incorporates irridescent filaments (feathers or butterfly wings ?).\nSome of the plants have raised details in wire, and a camel and leopard are raised with padding."@en .
