Minus one star only because the colors are not as vibrant as they appeared on my screen, much more muted which works better for what I've got going on decor wise.  There is some dyed yarn on the front of the pillow but most of the color you see is painted on a heavy, small nubbed cotton material.  It came with an insert and the back is solid black cotton.  Kind of pricey for the lack of craftmanship (painted/printed vs woven) but still a lovely pillow.  I would purchase it again.
