NOTES
This textile comprises two panels pieced together with a central vertical seam. Three floral patterns repeated four times make up its design. One band has a running pattern of flower and vine in red, blue, and apricot velvet on a silver-thread background. Next follows a narrow band of flower and vine in rosy pink with the black velvet ground uncut. Finally, there is a broad band of flowers, leaves, and birds in soft colors on a gold-thread back.
