Mid-blue cotton cloth decorated with rows of connecting diamonds waves fishes (?) alternating with mirrors as well as a main pattern of stylised flowers worked in red green and grey. The main outlines of the various patterns appear to be machine embroidered (tambour/ari work) with the details added by hand.
