Plain weave cotton embroidered with silk in surface darning on the diagonal and running and cross stitch and pulled thread work, backed with glazed cotton twill and with a border of brocaded silk and metal thread.
Two triangular pieces have been joined together to form a square:
[1] pulled thread ground overcast with pale silk to form a square mesh. The motifs are outlined in black squares. A red stepped lozenge is connected horizontally and vertically to a blue or brown triangle; inbetween are small yellow crosses. There is a narrow border with a red ground, and white crosses outlined in black linked by a light brown and yellow line.
Colour (Embroidery threads): black, red, yellow, light blue, light brown, greenish-brown.
[2] Same pulled thread ground. There are two main motifs: a yellow diamond with four light blue S- or Z-shapes along its sides, and squared-off diamonds divided into small segments. In between these two motifs is a diagonal dark blue rectangle with a yellow S- or Z-motif. There is a narrow border, with a yellow ground and fine black angular meander with red and light blue S- and Z-motifs.
Colour (Embroidery threads, 2S silk): dark blue, light blue, light pink, yellow, greenish-brown, light green, light brown, black.
The border is pieced blue silk brocaded with an almost boteh-like floral sprig in pink and green, with metal thread [tarnished silver strip open S-wound on a pink silk core]. The backing is green glazed cotton twill.
