Plain weave cotton embroidered with silk in surface darning and running stitch.
The design was drawn onto the back of the fabric with ink and can be seen along the lower edge which has not been embroidered.
There is no border design. Central red indented octagon with a light blue border. It contains a central dark red star in a yellow octagon surrounded by four dark red blossoms and two brown and two light blue ones. The ground of the cover is black. There is a pink ground cartouche along each side; it contains three angular light blue sections; the central one contains an orange cartouche with a blue S-shaped stem and two dark red blossoms; the other two contain a central red blossom between two stylised figures [see other items from group 1 to see the probably origin of this design]. In the lower left hand side one of these figures has been replaced by a leaf. There is a white lozenge in each corner filled with a blue lozenge and small coloured motifs. White and orange stylised blossoms surround the main motifs.
Embroidery threads: 2S silk; black, orange, pink, grey, light blue, brown, light brown, white, dark red, yellow, red, blue, light green/blue.
