Description

Rectangular textile with dense embroidered floral designs on a beige background. The textile is composed of three lengths of beige fabric stitched together along the long edges. In the centre are three large red and brown-red flowers surrounded by smaller red flowers. The centre section and outer section are separated by a rectangular border of small red flowers with green stems. The outer section has more large red and brown-red flowers, that wrap around the centre rectangle. This section is also bordered by small flowers, but in a dark brown-red colour with green stems. The back lining is composed of sections of floral fabric stitched together. The textile is edged with a beige fabric with geometric designs in dark blue, red and light brown, folded over the edge and sewn with both a running stitch and whip stitch in yellow or orange thread.
